23,000 tonnes of harvested domestic wheat worth EGP 65 mn have been discovered missing at a single site in Beheira governorate, making it the single largest case of missing wheat since the House of Representatives sent a committee to investigate the matter, according to committee member Yasser Omar. The silo’s owner had apparently disposed of paper and computer records by the time the committee turned up for a surprise inspection and had apparently fled the scene with key staff members, Omar added. According to Al Mal this brings the number of total value of wheat reported missing at six silos storing domestic wheat to around EGP 200 mn. As we noted on Sunday, the committee will issue its final report on its investigation at the end of the month, a multi-week extension on the original Sunday deadline.
