The Criminal Chamber specializing in financial corruption cases at the Tunis Court of First Instance has decided to refuse businessman Mohamed Frikha’s release and delay his trial until the hearing of August 15.
Mohamed Frikha, a well-known figure in the Tunisian business world, and a former manager of a public oil company were directed by the prosecution of the economic and financial judicial pole to the criminal chamber for money laundering and financial corruption charges.
The move follows accusations of suspicious financial transactions and corrupt practices within the oil company where the defendants allegedly employed their positions for illegal personal gains. The Tunisian judicial authorities highlight the fight against corruption, which is a persistent scourge affecting the economic and social development of the country.
