Tunisia in Interpol border operation
Tunisia participated in an international security operation launched by INTERPOL titled "Phoenix," which lasted for three weeks and involved five countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. The operation resulted in the detention of 48 individuals, including 8 wanted persons with red notices and one subject to an international alert, at various land and air border crossings. Among the most notable outcomes was the arrest of a fugitive wanted by France on the Algeria-Tunisia border, as well as the detention of a person suspected of involvement in a shooting incident in France in 2022 at Houari Boumediene Airport in Algeria. During the operation, over 700,000 checks were conducted, leading to the seizure of 11 luxury cars, 1.8 kilograms of gold, 13,000 tablets of Captagon, 530 mobile phones, and cash amounts. Emphasizing the importance of cross-border cooperation, the Tunisian police assumed full responsibility for the operations, operating as part of an international system that relies on the exchange of information and databases to facilitate the tracking of wanted individuals and the dismantling of cross-border criminal networks. The operation also focused on enhancing the capabilities of police units and empowering women in law enforcement tasks within the framework of the "Momentum-MENA" project, funded by the European Union.
