Pierre Girgis Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanor in Egyptian Agent Case, Highlighting Foreign Influence Challenge
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. The case, which has been closely followed, marks another setback for U.S. prosecutors in their efforts to clamp down on foreign influence. Girgis's plea was made without public notice, and he waived the pre-sentence report. The misdemeanor charge involved not labeling a WhatsApp about draft obligations.
