Naguib Sawiris, who is also a politician and  co-founder of Egypt’s Al Masreyeen Al Ahrrar  political party, has been a vocal critic of Morsi’s regime.

He left the country last year after Morsi was elected into power. He only returned to Egypt in May after a few senior executives who work with his Orascom Construction Industries were cleared of charges related to tax evasion, including Naguib’s brother Nassef Sawiris.

During his self-imposed exile, his political party participated in several anti-Morsi demonstrations. His privately-owned television station, ONTV regularly aired shows that criticized the regime.
