Tarek Shaker was appointed by SCAF to the People's Assembly of Egypt in January 2012. However, he has subsequently faced allegations that he is actually American, as well as being a twice-convicted criminal, and hence may not be eligible to sit in the parliament.<ref>[http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/scafs-parliament-appointee-may-be-illegal SCAF's Parliament appointee may be illegal]</ref>
