Imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine not exceeding five hundred Egyptian pounds, or one of these two penalties only. Article 346 of the penalty was doubled and stipulated:The maximum limit for the imprisonment penalty stipulated in the previous article shall be doubled if such deception occurred in relation to the price of meat, bread, firewood, coal or other necessary needs.
