The “Sotheby’s” website removed the advertisement for the sale of the villa, which is attributed to the musician of generations, Mohamed Abdel-Wahhab, following regarding a week.
And “Masrawy” had tracked the “advertisement” using photo validation tools (can be viewed here), and concluded that the news was first published on the American “mansiongloba” site that specializes in real estate market news on February 2, 2023, before it was widely spread in Local and regional Arab newspapers and television programs on February 5 and 6, and the name of the late musician was not mentioned in the advertisement.
Although the ad was removed from the global auction site, the “news” is on the real estate marketing website “mansiongloba” published on November 2, 2023.
Legal expert Hossam Lutfi told “Masrawy” that the family of the generational musician, represented by his sons Muhammad, Ahmed, Esmat, Effat, Zainab and Fatima, decided to take legal measures once morest the company that announced the auction, following addressing its officials amicably to stop exploiting the name of the generational musician and make an official apology. , But they did not abide by that, but it was claimed that “Abdul Wahhab” stayed in the villa for some time.
It is worth noting that, 3 days following the news of the sale announcement was circulated, the two sons of the late musician, “Effat and Muhammad,” denied their father’s ownership of a villa in Zamalek, where they lived in the fifties of the last century in an apartment in Zamalek until the death of their father in the early nineties, and considered that an “exploitation” of their father’s fame. And they postponed taking any legal steps until the family’s private lawyer was consulted, and the information his son requested from Sotheby’s regarding the alleged “villa”, according to their media statements.
