Title: Rigid Military Judgment Against Senior Egyptian Official

The military court in Egypt has sentenced the advisor to the Minister of Supply to 18 years of rigorous imprisonment and fined him 1,580,000 Egyptian pounds and 14,000 US dollars, along with dismissing him from his position. The court ordered the confiscation of the seized funds and real estate assets, as well as the proceeds from the crime. It also sentenced the general director of the office of the head of a sugar company to 7 years in prison and removed him from his job. Additionally, private company owners were sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of profiting and withholding goods from the markets. The Administrative Control Authority was able to apprehend the Minister's advisor and the general director of the sugar company’s office for receiving bribes from the owner of a flour mill and another who owns a supply company in exchange for allocating large quantities of sugar to their companies before its prices increased and withholding it from the markets, which contributed to the rise in prices.
