The National Radio of Tunisia published a second account of the same arrest on 7 November, attributing the security source’s statement to the TAP agency.[6]
Mosaique FM published the same TAP agency statement on 7 November, describing the 500 kg only as cannabis and marking the text with the agency’s initials.[2]Babnet republished the same TAP report under the headline that the man was wanted for trafficking, money laundering and unlicensed possession of a firearm, without adding a date, name or court outcome.[3]

The 500 kg of cannabis resin, about 5,000 slabs, the pistol and the money belong to an earlier drug case behind the warrants; the source does not say when or where that seizure happened or whether this man was present.
Only the arrest on Saturday 7 November 2026 is dated; the article says the arrest happened today and 7 November is also its publication date.
The suspect is described only as a dangerous criminal; no name, age or nationality was published, and the source does not say whether police kept him in detention.
Money laundering, an unlicensed firearm and forgery are warrant offences, not cannabis enforcement; the firearm and the money are excluded from cannabis figures and no motorcycle or other asset count is given.
Ammunition, the pistol's ownership and the size of the money sum were not published, so no value is recorded.
Only one accessible source for this event was found; the TAP agency report it cites could not be opened, so no second account was checked.
Both newly cited accounts, from Mosaique FM and Radio Nationale, reproduce the same TAP agency statement and add no independent reporting, so the sequence of the arrest and the details of the earlier 500 kg case remain as previously reported.
Mosaique FM describes the 500 kg only as cannabis and gives no slabs-to-resin conversion, so the report keeps the resin characterisation and the 500 kg weight as stated.
Mosaique FM tags the text with the TAP agency's initials and adds no new facts, so it is another reproduction of the agency statement rather than independent reporting.
The Mosaique FM page is dated 7 November 2026 and marks the text with the TAP agency's initials, but it does not say when the arrest happened beyond "today", so the exact time of the detention is not published.
Mosaique FM describes the 500 kg only as cannabis (القنب الهندي), without the resin wording used in the earlier account, so the product description remains as previously reported.
No separate date for the arrest is given; 7 November 2026 is the article's publication date.
