An Arab businessman (and friend) who does not want to be identified sent me this: "HI Asad
This Sawiris bilionaire has the same back ground as the dib al heiash that came to Lebanon here are the facts ( do not use my name)
- Sawiris the father was a small contractor in Egypt, When Sadat became president they grew like fire ! First question mark why and by whose instructions
- Why was Sawiris given the cell phone license in Egypt ? Did they collaborate with the Mubarak government and allowed Tanasut
- Why did Sawiris sell the Cement company ( National Cement Company and how did he become the owner of it) to a French conglomerate La Farge?
- Why is the Sawiris American Contracting company Called Contrack the number one or one of the leading US Government contractors and among the First in Afghanistan for a tune of 3 billion US dollar initial contract???
- How come Sawiris has invested in Israeli and is part owner of an Israeli cell phone company
- How come he was so pro-Mubarak on Charlie Rose show on PBS about 3 years ago or so. Very pro-peace with Israel willing to give up the Palestinian right of return.
Ask you friends in egypt and they will confirm: This man is suspect of being another Harirri in Egypt ( Harriri in waiting). All the money making operations that allowed Sawaris to amass a fortune was due to privileges granted by The US Government and Egyptian government. Now they will have to pay back : Wait and see."
