Criminal Chamber Adjourns Corruption Trial in Tunis

The criminal chamber specialized in financial‑corruption cases at the First Instance Court of Tunis has decided to postpone the trial of one of the sisters of the former president’s wife.

The new hearing is scheduled for April 2. The adjournment follows a request from the defendant’s lawyer, who asked for additional time to examine the case file and prepare the defense.

Both proceedings involve allegations of embezzlement of public funds, underscoring the involvement of close associates of the former first family in corruption scandals.
