Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The cannabis amount is given only as a plaque and a half, with no weight in grams, so no kilogram figure is recorded.
Neither account gives the size of the cash sum, the identity or age of the suspects, or exactly where in Sfax Nord the arrests happened.
The accounts say the arrests came 'yesterday evening', which in the 6 November publication places them on 5 November 2026.
No charges, referral to the prosecution or court outcome was reported; the case stood at the investigation stage.
Both accounts appear to reproduce the same security-source statement first reported by Radio Diwan FM, and the page picture is labelled illustrative, so it does not show this seizure.
