Public Prosecution Hands Over Impounded Vehicles at Dokki Yard, Clears Land

The impound yard for seized vehicles in Dokki, located in front of Cairo University, has been fully cleared of all cars and impounded vehicles. Authorities handed the vehicles over to their rightful owners or relevant bodies in line with decisions issued by the Public Prosecution. The clearance was carried out in coordination between Giza Governorate, the Public Prosecution. Relevant authorities, executing directives to expedite the completion of impound yards and reclaim state-owned land.

Giza Governor Inspects the Cleared Site

Dr. Ahmed El-Ansary, Governor of Giza. Counselor Yasser Hussein, Head of the Court of Appeals and Director of Prosecutions, inspected the site after the clearance was completed. The governor received the land to prepare it for redevelopment. El-Ansary confirmed that the governorate is working in full coordination with the Public Prosecution and all relevant bodies to accelerate the evacuation of impound yards and remove any obstacles delaying handover procedures. He stressed the commitment to swiftly finalize the delivery of vehicles to their owners or relevant authorities in accordance with issued decisions and full compliance with the law. The governor noted that clearing the yard is part of a broader plan aimed at optimizing the use of state assets and land.

Prosecution Praises Coordination With Governorate

The Prosecutor General praised the cooperation with Giza Governorate in executing the clearance and the coordination between different bodies that helped overcome obstacles and speed up procedures. Relevant authorities aim to complete the evacuation of remaining impound yards while finalizing the legal status of vehicles and returning them to their owners or relevant bodies. The tour was attended by Dr. Mohamed Nour, Secretary-General of Giza Governorate, Counselor Ahmed Yousry Omar, First Public Prosecutor at the Prosecutor General's Office and Director of the Seized Items Department, Counselor Ahmed Saad, Public Prosecutor for North Giza, along with several members of the Public Prosecution and officials from relevant bodies.

What Happens Next for Remaining Yards

The clearance was not a routine administrative step. A joint committee from the Public Prosecution and Giza Governorate reviewed each file individually to ensure every vehicle reached its legal owner. A governorate official said priority was given to cars whose legal impoundment period had ended, while coordination with police stations continued to finalize procedures for the remaining vehicles. He added that the yard will be repurposed for state projects once the site is fully cleared of vehicles and debris.

Meanwhile, a legal team is reviewing files of vehicles still held in other impound yards across Giza. The goal is clear: cut the time needed to complete legal procedures. A source familiar with the matter confirmed a specific timeline to finish all yards in the coming period, with full compliance to legal procedures. For vehicle owners waiting to collect their cars, priority is given based on the sequence of judicial decisions issued in each case.

This step fits into a wider push to rationalize state land use and repurpose it. The Dokki yard occupied a large area in front of Cairo University and held hundreds of impounded vehicles over the years. After its clearance, attention turns to other yards across the governorate. Early results look positive. Officials see coordination between the Public Prosecution and executive bodies as the key to accelerating work and returning land to optimal use.
