Safwan Thabet (Arabic: صفوان أحمد ثابت السميري - b.
1946) is an Egyptian businessman, and founder of the dairy company Juhayna Food Industries.
[1][2] Safwan Thabet is the grandson of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood's second leader Hassan al-Hudaybi (son of his daughter), who led the group during the Nasser era and nephew of Ma'mun al-Hudaybi, the Sixth General Guide of the Brotherhood between 2002 and 2004.
[3] Thabet has had his assets frozen by the Egyptian courts since 2015 (except those in Juhayna since it is a publicly listed company) and was arrested in December 2020 on accusations of funding a terrorist group.
Despite his arrest, Thabet and his family were able to still remain in control of the dairy company through a convoluted schema of ownership and internal net of employees all affiliated to the family.
