Alaa El-Din Abdul Moneim (Arabic: علاء الدين عبد المنعم; born January 3, 1951, in New Helmia, Al-Darb Al Ahmar, Cairo, Egypt) is a current "independent member" of the Egyptian Parliament and a lawyer for a number of large companies in Egypt.[1][2] Alaa El-Din is known for his unique handling of different issues (mostly related to the "corruption" occurring in Egypt) that are often debated by the people, but never brought to the media.
Early life
Alaa El-Din graduated from the Police Academy and served in the Police Department in Egypt for two years before he decided to retire and engage a position in a law firm in Kuwait. After about seven years in Kuwait, Alaa El-Din decided to return to Egypt and start his own law firm.
Parliament membership
Having a good background in the "corruption" taking place in Egypt, Alaa El-Din decided to run for a seat in the Parliament of Egypt so that he can escalate those issues to higher authorities. After five years of preparation (2000–2005), Alaa El-Din won his seat after re-election against a National Democratic Party nominee.
Alaa El-Din has drawn attention to a number of critical cases in which he had supported with credible evidence. Most of these cases had raised a lot of controversies and brought attention to the media and the press.
