The Tunisian judiciary has postponed a high-profile case involving alleged fake recruitment at national carrier Tunisair to November 23. The case, which involves financial corruption, was due to be heard on September 21 by the criminal chamber specializing in transitional justice at the Tunis Court of First Instance. However, the hearing was adjourned to allow for the completion of the judicial panel.
The case has garnered significant attention in Tunisia, with several individuals accused of being involved in the alleged fake recruitment scheme. Some of those accused were present in court, along with their lawyers, who argued for a delay in the proceedings. The court has now set a new date for the hearing, giving all parties involved time to prepare their cases.
