The criminal court of supreme state security, headed by judge Gamal al-Deen Safwat, announced the sentences of three defendants charged with spying for the Israeli Mossad. The one defendant present was sentence to 25 years in prison; the same sentence was given in absentia for the Mossad officers Eddie Moshe and Joseph Demor. The court also confiscated the seized papers and devices for Egyptian intelligence. The court also questioned why a young person who was born and raised in Egypt sought to work with a foreign country and give it information that would cause harm to his own country's national security. Did he do this because he hates his country, or because immoral factors pushed him to do it? Judge Safwat said the court has no agenda other than applying the law to those proven guilty of spying for a foreign country. The court also decided its sessions would confidential in order to preserve the national security of Egypt, as well as the other Arab countries where the accused sought to recruit spies. During the case's investigation, it was revealed that Egyptian intelligence, in cooperation with the supreme state security prosecution, had managed to seize a device that was given to one of the spies, Tarek Abdel Razak, which contained valuable information that could affect the national security of Arab countries. This spy was very valuable for the Israeli Mossad, but thanks to Egyptian intelligence's vigilance, he was caught.
