Under the instructions of the public prosecutor, the Economic and Financial Investigation Brigade under the Directorate of the Judicial Police apprehended three people on suspicion of migrant smuggling and human trafficking.
A report by the Tunisian Commission for Financial Analysis (CTAF) disclosed transfers in the form of money orders (Western Union and MoneyGram) originating from sub-Saharan Africa over four months (between March and June 2024) worth 14,802 dinars intended for an individual of Tunisian nationality.
The inquiries show that the company employing the person concerned received transfers worth 530 thousand dinars between 2023 and 2024 without filing tax returns and without presenting any economic justification.
Following these investigations, the public prosecutor in Tunis ordered the arrest of three workers of the same company for their financial responsibility. A search warrant was issued against the company manager and a computer used in international transfers was seized as part of the same operation.
