Tunis: The public prosecutor's office at the Tunis Court of First Instance has received information that Borhen Bssais and Mourad Zghidi are "seriously" suspected of having committed acts that fall within the scope of the law on combating terrorism and money laundering, said court spokesperson, Mohamed Zitouna. In a statement to the TAP news agency on Monday, Zitouna said that "the two suspects committed these acts while working for radio and television stations, adding that the acts committed were related to sources of funding and illicit enrichment. He also pointed out that the prosecution has information that Bssais and Zghidi 'illegally' own shares in several companies based in Tunisia. To this end, the public prosecutor's office has asked the National Financial Crimes Investigation Unit to investigate these suspicions. Bssais and Zghidi were arrested on May 11, before being remanded in custody on the basis of a committal order issued by the public prosecutor on May 15 and a hearing was scheduled for May 23 to rule on their case. They were each sentenced to one year's imprisonment in two separate cases each, after being found guilty by the Criminal Chamber of the Tunis Court of First Instance.
