Appeal acquits defendant of embezzling 43,000 dinars in land ownership transfer delay, ruling it a contractual breach, not fraud

The Court of Cassation (Criminal Court of Appeal) concluded with the acquittal of a defendant from charges of fraud and embezzlement involving 43,000 dinars, after overturning the initial ruling and sending the case back for review. The defendant was involved in selling land that did not belong to him and receiving the funds. However, the court held that the sale did not result in any proprietary rights, and the fact that the property was not registered in the buyer's name does not constitute a fraud offense. It also noted that the delay in transferring ownership was due to regulatory procedures and registration processes, and the evidence did not prove any intention of fraud on the part of the defendant. As a result, he was acquitted.
