Two members of the ring, Dr. Moussa Marzouk and Shmuel Azzar, were sentenced to death (six members of Marzouk's extended family had been killed in the 1948 massacres, for which no arrests had been made). In 1953, a cousin of Marzouk, Kamal Massuda, was killed, and the authorities did not make arrests. Other members of the sabotage rings had families who lost their livelihood after the 1947 Company Laws, which severely restricted the right to work and to own companies of non-Egyptian citizens (Jews were not in general allowed citizenship), were implemented.
