Conviction

On 11 August 2024, a car accident caused by Aboul Fotouh on the Cairo-Alexandria road led to the death of a 55-year-old man. Aboul Fotouh was accompanied by his teammate, goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhy. The examination proved that Aboul Fotouh was under the influence of drugs. He was detained for 4 days pending investigation. On 13 August, his detention was renewed for 15 days. He first appeared in court on 19 August. The case was adjourned until 16 September and he will remain in prison. On 16 September, Abou El Fotouh was released on a 50,000 Egyptian pound bail, with the case scheduled for review on 22 October. The Matrouh Criminal Court decided to postpone the trial of Aboul Fotouh to the November 16 session for pleading. Members of the victim's family attended, acknowledging the reconciliation.
On 16 November 2024, the Matrouh Criminal Court sentenced Aboul Fotouh to one year in prison, suspended for three years, along with a fine of 20,000 EGP, and revoked his driver's license. A written agreement was also made between the player and the victim's family, in which Aboul Fotouh committed to paying a 10 million EGP blood money to the family. The agreement also stipulated that the family would not pursue any further legal claims against him. On 9 February 2025, the court rejected Aboul Fotouh's appeal against his sentence, maintaining the original ruling, despite efforts by his defense team to challenge the decision.
