The bizarre case of Najib Sawiris

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)
  1. 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
  2. Why was Sawiris given the cell phone license in Egypt ? Did they collaborate with the Mubarak government and allowed Tanasut
  3. 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?
  4. 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???
  5. How come Sawiris has invested in Israeli and is part owner of an Israeli cell phone company
  6. 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."
