Tunisia- Nabil Karoui arrested, after a detention order

The Financial and Economic Judiciary pole rejected appeals to lift travel bans and unfreeze the Karoui brothers‘ assets. The court also issued two arrest warrants against the brothers in a civil case involving money corruption and tax evasion.

This published announcement was promptly followed by another, communicating the arrest of Nabil Karoui, by a security brigade, in Medjez el Bab while on his way from Beja. According to his escorts, he was seized to Al Mornguiya Prison.
