Boom! Evidence U.S. Bribed Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood?
By Walid Shoebat
Egypt’s
Attorney General Hisham Barakat is looking into evidence that arrested
Muslim Brotherhood leaders accepted bribes from the U.S. Embassy in
Cairo, according to a report from Almesryoon, an Egyptian newspaper that cites a “judicial source”.
The
trials that are scheduled to begin in Cairo on August 25th will feature
a litany of charges against the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Included
among them are murders, assassinations, prison escapes, sniping,
indiscriminate killing of demonstrators, and collaborating with foreign
governments, to include both the United States and Qatar.
Evidence we have obtained lends
credibility to the charges of “gifts” (bribes) being taken in U.S.
dollars from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo” that were distributed to top
ministerial level officials in the Mursi government.
Via Almesryoon:
“A judicial source stated that over the past few days, a number of complaints have been filed with the Attorney General Hisham Barakat. These complaints accuse the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and leaders of the centrist party of receiving gifts from the American embassy in Cairo.
The sponsors of these complaints stated that among these leaders are
Mohamed Badie, General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Khairat
Al-Shater, deputy leader and businessman, Mohamed Beltagy leading the
group, Essam el-Erian, deputy head of the Freedom and Justice Party of,
and Abu Ela Mady, head of the Wasat Party, Essam Sultan, deputy head of
the Wasat Party.”
The
strength of these allegations is seemingly bolstered by another case
alluded to by the newspaper in which a document is referenced. This
document reportedly reveals monthly “gifts” being paid to Muslim
Brotherhood leaders in Egypt by the Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin
Jabor Al Thani, Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Mursi government.
These monthly payments were said to be denominated in U.S. dollars to
each leader.
Evidence for such allegations are
substantiated by a document we have obtained. It includes the names of
several recipients of funds and even includes their signatures
acknowledging receipt of the funds.
This ledger, obtained from inside the
Mursi government, lends additional credibility to the report published –
in Arabic – by Almesryoon, which claims that U.S. bribes were paid to
the Muslim Brotherhood.

Qatar Document indicates Bribes in U.S. Dollars
The
names listed on the Qatar document match several names mentioned in the
Almesryoon article, including Mohamed Beltagy, listed as the last name
in the Qatari document as being paid an annual “gift”/bribe of $850,000
annually in U.S. dollars.
The
document above lists “gifts” which amount to bribes being paid to the
Mursi government members in annual payments of between $750,000 and
$850,000 in U.S. dollars each. The sums amount to tens of millions of
dollars in bribes. The nature or purpose for these payments is unknown
but is definitely marked as “gifts”.
Here is a direct translation from the newspaper:
“A
judicial source stated that the Attorney General Hisham Barakat
received a number of filed complaints over the past few days. These
complaints accuse leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and leaders of the
centrist party of receiving bribes thinly disguised as ‘gifts’, paid
through the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.”
Almesryoon
reports that both the U.S. and Qatar paid bribes to Egypt’s Muslim
Brotherhood leaders. The document above serves as very strong evidence
that Qatar did in fact do just that.
The signatures seen in Figure 1 means the document will be used as evidence in the upcoming trials set to begin on the 25th.
