Tunisia TV Owner Sentenced to Four Years
The Tunisian court of first instance sentenced a former television channel owner and former Minister of Religious Affairs to four years in prison for charges related to financial and administrative corruption in a case linked to a deal made by the Ministry of Religious Affairs in 2017 with an advertising company to cover the "Tomorrow is Better" anti-terrorism campaign. Investigations indicated that the deal, valued at 650,000 dinars, was marred by illegal direct negotiations, the use of resources exceeding the declared amounts, as well as the former minister's role in managing the agreement. The former minister responded to the investigations, asserting that the contract was made legally and that special circumstances justified the actions, threatening to take legal measures against the publication of the contracts. The prison sentence comes approximately nine years after the "I Watch" organization revealed details of the deal, and it is expected that the legal proceedings in the case will continue.
