Tunisia-Tunisia arrests 14 officials in phosphate graft probe

Tunisia arrested 14 people for suspected corruption in the phosphate industry, the judiciary said on Thursday, as the president moved to target graft in an important sector after seizing control of government last month, Reuters reported.

Those detained included a former junior minister, a mines director and procurement director at the Industry Ministry and six managers, judiciary spokesman Mohsen Dali said.
