Alleged recordings of some members of the Supreme Council for Armed Forces (SCAF) discussing a legal description for the detention period of former President Mohamed Mursi are fabricated, a military source said on Friday.
The alleged recordings went viral on social media networks on Thursday night stirring controversy. They include discussions on how to alter the description of Mursi's detention place from a military to an interior ministry affiliated prison to avoid a loophole that could result in a court decision to free Mursi.
"Hostile foreign intelligence services and the Muslim Brotherhood, which exploit the media to create confusion, are behind these leaks”, the source added, citing a fall-out between the army and the people as their purpose.
“Highly sophisticated technology which is used in the film industry, is now used to insert voice tracks [in recordings]”, the source said.
Mursi's ittihadeya and espionage cases will be "ruined", due to his detention in an illegal location since July 3, one of the recordings, allegedly belonging to SCAF Member Mamdouh Shahin, revealed.
Mursi was ousted by the military on July 3 2013, following mass protests against his rule. His first public appearance was made during the first session of his trial in the Ittihadeya events on November 4 2013.
