TikToker Modahem Accused of Laundering EGP 65 Million

TikToker Modahem Accused of Laundering EGP 65 Million Through Real Estate, Cars, and Fake Companies

The controversy surrounding Egyptian TikToker Modahem (real name: Mohamed Khaled) has escalated yet again — this time with serious money laundering allegations totaling 65 million Egyptian pounds.

While Modahem’s initial arrest last month made headlines for spreading content “against societal values” in pursuit of online fame and financial gain, the new accusations unveiled by the Ministry of Interior paint a much bigger picture.

Ministry of Interior’s Official Statement

In a detailed announcement, Egypt’s Department for Combating Public Funds and Organized Crimes revealed that Modahem had been under investigation for laundering tens of millions in illicit earnings. According to the statement, he created and managed social media pages to post videos that violated societal norms — all to boost viewership and monetize the content.

But it didn’t stop at just views.

Authorities claim Modahem used the illegally earned money to buy apartments, cars, and motorcycles, and to set up companies, all in an attempt to disguise the source of his income and make it appear legitimate.

“He attempted to legitimize these funds by portraying them as the outcome of legal business activity,” the ministry said, estimating that around 65 million EGP was funneled through these methods.

A Familiar Face in the TikTok Scene

Modahem is no stranger to controversy. Known for his TikTok livestreams and “drive-alongs” with other content creators like Alia Qamroun, Suzy El Ordoneya, Om Omar, and Omar Farag, he often appeared in viral clips that drew both attention and criticism.

Back in July, Modahem was ordered into four-day detention pending investigations, on charges of sharing immoral content and violating Egyptian family values. Now, with money laundering added to the list, his legal troubles have deepened significantly.

What This Means

The case comes amid a wave of crackdowns targeting social media personalities in Egypt accused of using platforms for profit in ways that breach national laws or societal ethics.

While Modahem remains under investigation, the new developments have sparked debates online about the blurred lines between fame, influence, and accountability.
