The move followed directives from Attorney General Counselor Mohamed Shawky to expedite the clearance of vehicle impound lots and return the lands they occupy to the state. This comes within the institutional coordination between the Public Prosecution, the Ministry of Local Development and Environment, and Giza Governorate. The efforts resulted in the complete evacuation of the lot and the handover of the land to the governorate, paving the way for its transfer to the ministry to maximize its utilization.

Legal Procedures for Vehicles

The clearance works included disposing of seized vehicles in accordance with the law and handing over vehicles cleared for release to their owners or rightful recipients after completing the prescribed legal procedures. This contributed to accelerating the completion of impound procedures, leading to the full evacuation of the site. The step is part of the state's efforts to repurpose assets and serve the public interest.

During the visit, Counselor Yasser Hussein, President of the Court of Appeal, Director of Prosecutions, and Head of the Committee formed under the presidential mandate, along with Counselor Ibrahim Saleh, President of the Court of Appeal and Acting First Attorney General of the Cairo Appeal Prosecution, met with Dr. Ahmed El-Ansary, Governor of Giza. The land was received free of vehicles. The meeting emphasized the importance of concerted efforts and continuous coordination among relevant authorities, praising the cooperation provided by Giza Governorate in overcoming obstacles faced during the clearance and handover operations.

Upon reviewing the executive position of the clearance and handover phases, the Attorney General commended the diligent efforts and continuous support provided by Dr. Manal Awad, Minister of Local Development and Environment, valuing the ministry's pivotal role in supporting the committee's work. He also praised the role played by Dr. Ahmed El-Ansary, Governor of Giza, in supporting the implementation of the presidential mandate and assisting the committee in performing its tasks. That contributed to completing the land handover and enabling its re-utilization for the benefit of the state.
