Authorities busted an orgy in Cairo and arrested 16 people, after receiving information that a gym was breaching coronavirus lockdown orders, a report said on Tuesday.
The fitness centre in Cairo's Nozha was initially investigated for defying nationwide lockdown orders calling on all non-essential businesses to close.
The police were "in shock" to instead find an orgy event instead of regular fitness activities, the report said.
Ten women and six men were arrested for taking part in group sex inside the centre, which was charging attendees 4,000 Egyptian pounds (around $250) – coinciding with the amount individuals are fined for breaching the lockdown – for access to the orgy and a massage.
The illegal event was promoted on social networking sites, including Facebook, authorities said.
Egypt imposed a nationwide lockdown on March 25, warning those defying the measures can expect to face legal consequences, including a fine of up to 4000 Egyptian pounds, as well as a possible prison sentence.
