Muhammad Ramadan publicly criticized the sound engineer due to a technical malfunction. The court was convinced that the insult incident was proven based on technical evidence.

The El Alamein Court issued a ruling fining actor Muhammad Ramadan 10,000 Egyptian pounds over an incident dating back to August 2025, in which he allegedly used offensive language toward sound engineer Abdullah Emad during a concert held in the North Coast, according to statements made by lawyer Shaimaa El-Sherif in exclusive remarks.

The lawyer explained that the court imposed the maximum penalty allowed in insult cases, which ranges between 1,000 and 10,000 pounds, concluding with the highest fine in this case, indicating that the incident was proven before the court.

She noted that the case began after an official report was filed in August 2025 and was later referred to the El Alamein Prosecution, which launched an investigation and summoned the sound engineer to hear his testimony about what happened during the concert.

Details of the Incident The incident traces back to a concert held in Porto Marina in the North Coast, where Muhammad Ramadan publicly criticized the sound engineer due to a technical issue during the performance. He used phrases that sparked controversy, including describing the atmosphere as “old-fashioned and local,” which led to widespread debate on social media platforms.

The lawyer added that the Public Prosecution reviewed and examined widely circulated video clips recorded by attendees, while investigations continued over several sessions. Muhammad Ramadan was summoned multiple times but did not attend, which led to the case being referred to the competent court.

She confirmed that the court was convinced of the insult based on technical evidence and witness statements, noting that such cases typically result in a financial fine rather than imprisonment. She also pointed out that her client suffered significant psychological harm due to the incident and the subsequent widespread circulation of videos and comments.

She explained that the case was filed under Articles 306 and 171 of the Penal Code, without any indication of public defamation, adding that the technical issue during the concert was unintentional and resulted from the artist’s continuous movement on stage, which affected the sound quality.

Additionally, the lawyer revealed plans to take further legal action by filing a civil lawsuit seeking financial compensation for the damages sustained by her client as a result of the incident and its repercussions.
