EgyptAir Hijacker Seif Eddin Mustafa’s Ex-Wife Says He Was Drug Addict, Calls Him ‘Extremely Dangerous’
The former wife of 59-year-old Seif Eddin Mustafa, who hijacked an EgyptAir plane with 72 passengers on board Tuesday and forced it to land in Cyprus, said in an interview to a Cypriot newspaper Thursday that he is an “extremely dangerous man.”
Marina Paraschou was married to Mustafa for five years until 1990, and had four children with him. She said her former husband used drugs, beat her and terrorized the family. The 51-year-old also denied media reports that said Mustafa hijacked Flight MS181 for the sake of love.
