The criminal chamber responsible for examining financial corruption cases at the Court of First Instance of Tunis convicted a dismissed judge to five years in jail, with a fine of three million dinars, for charges related to false justification of an illicit source of movable funds.
It should be mentioned that the dismissed judge was at liberty, awaiting a case related to providing false information to the relevant authorities concerning funds seized from him and a second accused.
Investigations subsequently disclosed that these funds were of illegal origin and were suspected of coming from money laundering.
The court also decided to incarcerate the second accused in this case for three years and to order him to pay a fine of 600,000 dinars.
