Public Prosecutor Abdel Maguid Mahmoud sent to the Public Funds Prosecution the notification submitted by 47 independent and opposition MPs against former Housing Minister Mohamed Ibrahim Suleiman, which Al-Masry Al-Youm had exclusively printed. He also called on several control bodies to investigate. The MPs had reported some incidents proving what they called "methodological organized corruption". They demanded the confiscation of authentic contracts at the Ministry of Housing and the filing of a criminal lawsuit against Suleiman, accusing him of taking part in that corruption. Indeed, they said he had taken hold of vast areas of land and villas and distributed them to his family and relatives. They also affirmed he had involved businessmen by giving them hundreds of state-owned acres of lands for building, thus providing the worst example of how to take advantage of influence, to profiteer and to waste public money. The MPs also gave several examples, such as the lots of lands in Egypt (for a total of 1,625,400 m) that the former minister gave to contractor Hassan Durah's companies in several places in Egypt during the 1990s. Al-Masry Al-Youm's website has received some 220 comments by its readers, as they praised the newspaper for printing the notification and called on it to go on unveiling more cases of corruption.
