Tunisia-Mohamed Abbou speaks out on the “lobbying” affair

Former secretary-general of the Democratic current Mohamed Abbou said this Sunday, November 15, 2020, that the prosecution had initiated a preliminary inquiry into the so-called “Lobbying” case, following a notification made by the Democratic Current on October 13, 2019.

The politician criticised the fact that this preliminary investigation was initiated on October 14, 2020, and that so far, approximately 13 months no investigative process has been pursued.

In the same vein, he evoked the provisions of Article 28 of the Code of Criminal Procedures stipulating that in the event of a crime, the Public Prosecutor must promptly notify the Public Prosecutor and the relevant  Advocate General and directly inquire regular information from the investigating judge in his or her jurisdiction.
