Former Beni Messous mayor cleared in Ramadan basket case
The Algerian court has acquitted former Beni Messous mayor Houadf Sulaiman of charges of abuse of office and embezzlement of public funds in the case of fraud related to the Ramadan Aid distribution of 2019. The court had previously sentenced Sulaiman to three years in prison and a monetary fine, in addition to a default judgment against another defendant, who was sentenced to five years in prison. Investigations indicated that the case involved passing a list of Ramadan aid beneficiaries, which included unjustified benefits, such as double benefits and benefits to ineligible individuals. As a result, the Public Prosecution requested increased sanctions, but the court acquitted him and canceled the previously imposed damages and fines, noting that he was not directly responsible for preparing the beneficiary lists but only signed them.
