BEIRUT — There Egyptians have been arrested here for allegedly gang-raping a woman in a luxury Cairo hotel in 2014, Lebanese authorities said here on Saturday. Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces (ISF) said in a statement it received a letter from Interpol in Egypt on Aug. 27 with the names of seven Egyptian nationals in Lebanon “accused of raping a girl in 2014 in a Cairo hotel.” The ISF intelligence branch “found that five of the seven had entered Lebanon previously” and that three remained in the country, according to the statement. The three suspects were arrested on Aug. 28 in the village of Fatqa in Mount Lebanon, the ISF added. The rape allegedly took place six years ago, but the accusations only emerged online in July. Egypt launched a probe in early August after receiving a letter from a national women’s association that included a complaint from a young woman, who claimed she had been gang-raped at the Fairmont Hotel in 2014. According to social media accounts, up to six men had drugged and raped the woman. The arrests in Lebanon came days after Egypt detained another suspect in the case as he attempted to flee the country. The prosecution last week it was seeking to arrest a total of nine suspects, adding that seven had fled abroad following the dissemination of their identities on social media. — Agencies
