Although they confirmed the news of the withdrawal of citizenship, Brotherhood accounts said that the Turkish decision had nothing to do with Erdogan’s visit to Cairo, and that their citizenship was withdrawn 3 months ago against the backdrop of investigation against them on charges of real estate corruption and forgery of papers.
