Tunisia trial restarts for 23 allies of Ben Ali
None
Lawyers representing 23 relatives and collaborators of Tunisia's ousted president argued Wednesday that the legal proceedings against their clients were riddled with nullifying defects and urged judges to drop the charges.
The 23 were facing charges including illegally possessing foreign currency, jewelry trafficking and attempting to flee the country. If convicted, they could be sentenced to from six months to five years in prison, as well as hefty fines. (AP)
