Aug 14, 2024, 08:55 PM
Pierre Girgis, a New York resident, who was indicted in 2022 on felony charges of acting as an unregistered agent for the Egyptian government, has pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor charge. Girgis was accused of tracking opponents of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in New York and arranging meetings between Egyptian and American law enforcement officials.
