Tunisia dismantles two international criminal networks, arrests 25

Tunisian authorities have dismantled two international criminal networks, arresting 25 people involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and contract killings. The Ministry of Interior announced the operation, stating that the arrests followed extensive technical surveillance coordinated with specialized security departments and the public prosecutor's office.

During the operation, security forces confiscated a significant number of luxury cars, motorcycles, and boats, along with cash and drugs. The Ministry emphasized that the seized assets were proceeds from the criminal activities of these gangs, both domestically and internationally. The Tunisian government aims to combat organized crime and thwart subversive schemes that threaten national security and stability.

The arrested individuals have been handed over to judicial authorities to face charges related to their involvement in the dismantled networks. Investigations are continuing to identify and apprehend other similar groups operating within the country.
