Egyptian TV star Sarah Khalifa, famed for her crime show “Mission Impossible,” has been sentenced to death alongside eleven others for allegedly leading a drug trafficking ring — a shocking twist for a celebrity known for exposing criminals. Despite claiming she’s never even smoked a cigarette and owning a plastic surgery clinic and production company, prosecutors say she imported materials to manufacture synthetic drugs. The court consulted Egypt’s Grand Mufti before the verdict, and authorities seized over 750kg of drugs and weapons. Khalifa also faces five years in prison for separate kidnapping charges. With Egypt issuing over 500 death sentences last year, this case underscores the nation’s ironclad stance against narcotics trafficking — and raises urgent questions about justice and celebrity accountability.
