Hisham Genena

Hisham Genena, also spelled Geneina or Genina (Arabic: هشام جنينة; born 1954 in Daqahlia) is a former police officer, public prosecutor, judge, chief auditor, anti-corruption advocate, and vice-presidential candidate. Genena was deputy head of the Court of Cassation, Egypt's highest court of appeal, and head of the Egyptian public finance oversight body, the Central Auditing Organization (CAO) from 2012 to 2016. He was made famous for his anti-corruption statements, and a 350-page CAO report he leaked to the press in 2016 that detailed the high cost of corrupt land deals. This culminated in Genena's removal from office, and subsequent trials which ended in his incarceration two years later while running as a vice-presidential candidate. Genena was released in February 2023 after serving the five-year term.
