We have another case of Dina Sherbini on our hands this week! Egyptian folk singer Rico was using heroin when police raided the apartment he was in and caught him - and one of their own - red-handed.

The 50-year-old singer's real name is Khaled Salah Eddine and has a successful track record in acting and singing.

Police must have received a tip from someone who lived in that building, as Rico and five other men, including a police officer, were enjoying what seemed like a routine "drugs party," when the authorities broke into the apartment.

According to Al Arabiya Net, the apartment belongs to a music composer, not Rico himself.

Police have reportedly seized a total of 80 grams of the illegal drug and cash money, which was part of a drug deal that took place on the evening.

According to Al Jaras magazine, an investigation is currently underway and suspects have been ordered to undergo a blood and urine test to prove whether they were under the influence or not.
