Rulings in Tunisia imprisoning Ben Ali's son-in-law, a former Prime Minister, and former ministers on corruption charges
A Tunisian court has sentenced businessman Marwan Mabrouk, son-in-law of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and several former officials to prison over corruption-related charges.
A Tunisian court has imposed a 20-year prison sentence on Marwan Mabrouk, the son-in-law of ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, as part of a wider crackdown on corruption within the country. This ruling follows a series of convictions related to financial misconduct, with Mabrouk receiving 14 years for money laundering. Additionally, former Prime Minister Youssef Chahed and several former ministers were each sentenced to six years in prison for their involvement in a scheme that allowed the lifting of a financial freeze on Mabrouk's assets in 2018, highlighting ongoing concerns about corruption in Tunisian governance after the 2011 revolution.
