Imam Ashour, a Zamalek midfielder, has been threatened with imprisonment for 3 years for writing checks with no balance in favor of the Ghazl El Mahalla club, for the value of his transfer to the Zamalek club, as the Ghazl El Mahalla club obtained an enforceable sentence against Imam Ashour with prison sentence if he did not pay the value of the checks.
Hossam Ezzo, a member of the Ghazl El Mahalla Club Board of Directors, revealed that Imam Ashour, upon moving to Zamalek, issued 3 checks worth half a million pounds for each check, after the club’s management agreed with the player to pay £ 2 million to Ghazl El Mahalla to accept his transfer to Zamalek.
Hossam Ezzo said Zamalek offered £ 10 million in exchange for joining Imam Ashour, but the Ghazl El Mahalla club asked for £ 12 million for the player to bear the £ 2 million, the difference between what was offered and what was required, adding that Imam Ashour paid half a million pounds by signing and obtaining the waiver and issuing 3 checks. However, the Mahalla administration was surprised that their calls were not heeded by Imam Ashour, so legal steps were taken for the first check and a sentence was obtained to imprison the player for 3 years.
On the possibility of resolving the crisis amicably with the Zamalek club, Hussam Ezzo said he contacted Ismail Youssef, a member of the Zamalek board, and asked him to resolve the crisis, but the latter promised a solution and then ignored the response to contacts from local officials.
Hossam Ezzo said that if the player pays the value of the 3 checks, the first case will be waived, but in the event that procrastination against Ashour continues, legal action will be taken on the remaining two checks.
