Today, Tuesday, the Tunisian security authorities issued a summons for the businessman, head of the “Qalb Tounes” party, Nabil Karoui, and his brother, after they fled to Algeria.
Tunisian media said, “The Public Prosecution in the Court of First Instance in Kasserine Governorate (center of the country), authorized the security authorities to issue a summons, which allows Tunisia to demand the extradition of Nabil Karoui and his brother and try them on charges of illegally crossing the border, according to bilateral agreements between Tunisia and Algeria.” .
The source added that “the security authorities in Tunisia can, at a later time, request international cooperation in implementing the subpoena issued against Nabil Karoui and his brother, if they are not deported to Tunisia.” The two Karoui brothers were arrested yesterday, Sunday, August 29, in the city of Tebessa, and a group of people involved in helping them cross the land border surreptitiously were arrested, including drug dealers from Boudrias border state in Kasserine.
