Six-year sentence for ex-president's daughter
A Tunisian court sentenced Nθrsine Ben Ali, the daughter of the late President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and her former husband, businessman Sakhr Maatari, to six years in prison with immediate enforcement in a corruption and misuse of public funds case. The sentences came after the Financial Crimes Division of the Tunis Court of First Instance issued convictions in absentia against them. The verdict also includes a five-year prison sentence for an accounting expert on charges of financial misconduct, harming public administration, and unlawfully managing public funds. It is worth noting that Ben Ali ruled Tunisia for 23 years before his regime was overthrown in 2011, prompting him to leave for Saudi Arabia, where he passed away in 2019. Since the fall of his regime, the country has confiscated his and his family members’ properties.
