Story summary

Sarah Khalifa, a 39-year-old Egyptian TV presenter, has been sentenced to death by hanging along with 11 others for their involvement in a massive drug trafficking ring. The group was accused of forming an organized criminal gang that imported materials from abroad to manufacture synthetic drugs, with the intent to traffic them. According to reports, investigators seized over 750kg of narcotics and materials used to manufacture them. Khalifa, who is best known for hosting the TV program "Mission Impossible", denied the allegations against her and claimed she had never smoked a cigarette in her life. The verdict came after the court consulted the Grand Mufti of Egypt for his religious opinion, as required by Egyptian law in capital cases. Khalifa's lawyer has stated that they will appeal the death sentence. Nine others were sentenced to life imprisonment, while seven defendants were acquitted in the case.
