The Gazelle's Eyes and the Doorman's Revenge: How a 21-Year-Old Mastermind's Meticulous Criminal Blueprint Collapsed Over $5,000

The story describes how Nagwa and her husband Mahmoud set up an organized spouse-swapping network in Alexandria, presenting it as “freedom” while actually turning it into a profitable business. Nagwa took the lead, using social-media pages and encrypted messaging groups to recruit and manage participants, while Mahmoud enabled and benefited from the scheme. A bribed building doorman, Abd Al-Gawad, helped them keep the operation hidden but later betrayed them to the police after Nagwa stopped paying him. Acting on his tip and existing intelligence about the online activity, authorities dismantled the network and secured prison sentences for all three.
