The ongoing legal dispute between the family of late Egyptian actor Mahmoud Abdel Aziz and TV presenter Bossi Shalaby has returned to the spotlight, following the court’s decision to set an official date to hear the compensation lawsuit filed by the actor’s family. The lawsuit accuses Shalaby of forging official documents and defaming the late star.

Upcoming Court SessionThe court has scheduled the session for July 17, during which it will review the lawsuit filed by Abdel Aziz’s family, who are seeking financial compensation of 10 million Egyptian pounds. The claim includes allegations that Shalaby forged official documents related to a fabricated marriage contract with the actor, in addition to damaging his reputation posthumously.

Alleged Documents and a "Forged" ContractThe lawsuit is based on previous statements by Bossi Shalaby in which she claimed to have been married to Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, presenting a marriage document as proof. However, the family has completely denied the existence of any such relationship, stating that the contract is forged and false, and that the entire claim is an intrusion on the actor’s privacy and an attempt to impose a distorted narrative on the public.

Interrogation and Temporary ReleaseEarlier, the public prosecution interrogated Bossi Shalaby regarding the allegations. After the initial investigation, she was temporarily released while the authorities continue to gather evidence and follow the legal process.

The family had previously submitted a formal complaint to the prosecution, accusing Shalaby of forging her national ID, family record, and passport — documents allegedly used to support the claim of marriage to the late actor. The family demands a thorough investigation into these accusations.

Shalaby’s Lawyer: Legal Responses Were CompleteIn response, Haidi El-Fadaly, lawyer for Bossi Shalaby, confirmed that her client had provided clear and comprehensive legal responses to all questions during the investigation. She praised the neutrality of the prosecution and stressed that the case remains in the information-gathering stage, urging the public not to rush to judgment or adopt any narrative prematurely before an official ruling is issued.

Ongoing Public DebateThe case continues to spark wide public interest, especially within media and artistic circles, reigniting questions about the private life of one of Egypt’s most iconic cinema figures. All eyes are now on the upcoming court session, where a definitive judgment is eagerly awaited.
