The criminal division of Tunis’s first-instance court sentenced the three-member gang to 12 years’ prison plus 10 years of administrative surveillance near schools in the Sidi Hussein delegation.[1] The court also imposed heavy financial fines on the gang.[1]

The case began when specialised security units carried out in-depth investigations that brought down the gang members as they were dealing narcotics near school compounds.[1] The investigation found the defendants in an integrated network supplying drugs to minors and young people, exploiting their proximity to schools to expand their customer base.[1]
