The Beggar's Millions: How a Flawless Cairo Bank Heist Was Foiled by One Simple Question

Wahid, an unemployed man desperate for money, devised a scheme to rob his elderly aunt, Fakiha, a beggar who had secretly amassed more than three million Egyptian pounds in the bank. With the help of his partners, Mostafa and Mai, he forged documents and recruited an unsuspecting woman named Haga Faiza, who happened to resemble Fakiha, convincing her that she was doing routine bank errands. For a while, the plan worked. Large sums were withdrawn without suspicion. But the scheme unraveled when a sharp-eyed bank employee noticed inconsistencies. During questioning, Haga Faiza accidentally revealed her real name, exposing the fraud. In the end, Wahid and his accomplices were arrested and held responsible for the crime, while the innocent look-alike was cleared of all charges.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
