Authorities in the United States have arrested an Egyptian-American man from New York on allegations that he unlawfully worked at the behest of the Egyptian government to track the “political opponents” of the country’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
The US Justice Department said it took Pierre Girgis, 39, into custody on Thursday.
Girgis is charged with conspiring to act as a foreign agent and acting as a foreign agent without notifying the US attorney general’s office – counts that could carry up to five and 10 years in jail, respectively.
