Tunisia – Seizure of large quantities of products intended for speculation

The judicial research units of the National Guard in the Sidi Bouzid district, strengthened by the region’s rapid intervention units and with help from a team of the Ministry of Commerce, successfully seized around 10 tonnes of subsidized flour, valued at 8,000 dinars. This seizure was made following a raid on a clandestine warehouse in the area, where the flour was being held for sale outside the official distribution channels.

In a related context, units of the anti-delinquency sub-directorate of the judicial affairs directorate of the National Guard in Ben Arous were able to seize 6,000 eggs planned for sale outside the legal framework, following a search carried out in a clandestine warehouse in the Sidi Hassin region of Tunis.

After examination, the Public Prosecutor’s Office authorized the adoption of the required legal measures against the offenders, according to a report published by the General Directorate of the National Guard, today Thursday.
