Tunisian Criminal Court Sentences Drug Trafficking Network to 30 Years in Prison

The criminal court of the Tunis First Instance Court sentenced a drug‑trafficking network, operating from Europe to Tunisia, to 30 years of imprisonment after it concealed the contraband inside a ready‑to‑wear clothing container.

According to the case file, authorities seized large quantities of cocaine as well as approximately 4,000 drug tablets, revealing the scale of the operation.

The judgment underscores the firmness of Tunisian justice in confronting narcotics networks and aims to deter any attempt at drug smuggling on a national level.
