As we celebrate May Day, I was wondering whatever happened to SS Brigadier General Ahmad el-Azzazi, who headed the dissolved agency’s infamous “Trade Unions Bureau”. Why isn’t he on trial?

UK firm offered spying software to Egyptian SS
Gamma International’s Finfisher program would have enabled government spies to monitor activists and censor websites, according to documents obtained by activists after storming State Security Police headquarters in Nasr City:
One of the papers, in English and headed Finfisher Proposal: Commercial Offer, contained an offer dated 29 June 2010 to provide “FinSpy” software, hardware, installation and training to the SSI for €287,000 (£255,000). The name on the invoice, dated Tuesday 29 June 2010, was Gamma International UK Limited.
Other documents, written in Arabic and marked “ultimately confidential”, state that after being offered a “free trial version” of Gamma’s Finfisher software to test its ability to hack into email accounts, the SSI concluded it was “a high-level security system” that could get into email accounts of Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo, as well as allowing “full control” of the computers of “targeted elements”. It went on to describe the software’s “success in breaking through personal accounts on Skype network, which is considered the most secure method of communication used by members of the elements of the harmful activity because it is encrypted”.
List of SS officers (Part II)
Hundreds of State Security Police officers, with their job occupations, phone numbers, have been exposed by 25Leaks website.
I’ve just skimmed through it quickly now. I’ll for sure do more investigations later, but if there is one thing that has been a trend in SS: It’s a family business. I’m seeing names of junior SS officers whose daddies are also in SS.

One quick example (check page 2), you’ll find that our General Rushdi el-Qamari had a son who worked at the SS Heliopolis Bureau: Captain Muhammad Rushdi el-Qamari.
Previously I posted a link to another site with more names and phone numbers here.
More from the Piggipedia soon.
