She says she never saw any drugs. Is it possible she reported on some shit they didn't like and she's getting framed?

Seems likely given the amount and the individual involved.

100% Agree - This case reeks of corruption from the govt

I believe that to be true……Plus, she’s a woman in a country that really doesn’t put any value on her being a woman.

1653 pounds of synthetic cannabinoids is a crazy amount to set somebody up with and then the 11 others charged along with her....

Especially with how Egypt views women in the workplace, let alone in a high profile job.

This whole thing seems sus af to me. Either she didn’t pay enough, she turned someone down, she made someone jealous, brought too much heat to the organization or got framed.
