Andersen in Egypt has secured a significant criminal conviction before El Nozha Misdemeanours Court in a case arising from deceptive representations concerning the origin of sanitary ware products supplied under transactions valued at approximately €3.9 million.
Our client entered into a series of transactions for the purchase of products represented as being of European origin. The stated origin was a fundamental element of the transactions, directly affecting the commercial value of the goods, pricing considerations, and the client’s decision to proceed with the purchases.
Subsequent investigations established that the products were not of the origin represented at the time of sale. Technical examinations and documentary evidence revealed that the goods were Egyptian-manufactured products that had been exported abroad and later reintroduced into the Egyptian market accompanied by documentation indicating a different origin.
