Mansour, 68, was recently kicked out of Parliament after the latest elections which leaves him without diplomatic immunity as of 1 January 2021.

The controversial White Knights leader known for his outlandish media outburst has been subject to 12 official complaints to the Public Prosecutor including from Al Ahly's president Mahmoud El-Khatib.

His son and director of transfers, Amir Mortada, has since tendered his resignation as the rest of the board awaits the outcome of the investigation.

Under Mansour's leadership, Zamalek has risen towards the upper echelons of African football again with five Egyptian Cup triumphs, the CAF Confederation Cup, Super Cup and one Egyptian Premier League title.
