The world might have remained oblivious to it all were it not for a journalist whose fact-checking website, Matsda2sh, accused officials in Egypt of involvement in the incident.
Soon after that Egyptian plainclothes security forces raided Karim Asaad’s Cairo home in the dead of night and arrested him.
At first he just disappeared. Nobody knew where or why Mr Asaad had been taken.

That’s crazy, how did my duffel bag full of cash get on that plane?
Somehow, it seems, a Zambian man carrying bags of what looked like gold was allowed to stroll through security and meet the newly arrived Egyptians on the plane.
Nobody appears to know who authorised this but, according to Zambian media reports, a few cash handouts had helped ease his path.
Bribes.
