Arrests and trials followed the revelation, resulting in executions and galley sentences for many conspirators.

Some 150 people were arrested and interrogated under torture. Between July and October 1749, 35 were executed, 3 died in custody, and 72 were condemned to the galleys. Mustafa was spared due to French influence.
