The judiciary issues its ruling in the case of Amr Diab and the "slapped young man"

The Fifth Settlement Misdemeanor Court has fined artist Amr Diab 200 EGP and ordered him to pay 10,000 EGP as temporary civil compensation to the young man Saad Osama, known in the media as “the slapped young man.”

The court also acquitted Saad Osama of the charges against him.

Artist Amr Diab was absent from the session, which witnessed a legal controversy over the details of the incident and its parties.

Incident details The case dates back to an incident that occurred during one of Amr Diab's concerts, where the young man, Saad Osama, claimed that the artist slapped him while trying to take a picture with him, which angered the audience.

During the investigations, the young man stated that Amr Diab had reprimanded him and slapped him in the face, which prompted him to file a lawsuit demanding financial compensation for the harm he suffered.

Defense requests and hearing results During the court sessions, Amr Diab's defense presented several requests, including: • Saad Osama was sentenced for assaulting the artist. • Request financial compensation for damages. • Demanding Amr Diab's acquittal of the charges against him.

In contrast, the defense of the young man, Saad Osama, demanded financial compensation of 5 million pounds for the psychological and moral damage he suffered, in addition to proving his client’s innocence of the charges against him. In the end, the court decided the case by fining the artist and obligating him to pay compensation, while declaring Saad Osama innocent of the assault charge.

Feedback and next actions The ruling sparked widespread reactions among Amr Diab's fans and followers of the case, while no official comment was issued by the artist or his legal team about the possibility of appealing the ruling. The case remains an example of the legal controversy that can occur between celebrities and their fans.
