The specialized criminal chamber for financial corruption cases at the Tunis Court of First Instance issued a default judgment sentencing the former coach of the Tunisian national team, Sami Trabelsi, to two years in prison, along with a substantial fine.

The verdict came in the context of a case related to administrative and banking crimes, where the file of Trabelsi was referred to the judiciary along with several other defendants to examine these charges.

According to the available data, the financial fines imposed on Trabelsi have exceeded half a million Tunisian dinars, in connection with a case related to a company he had previously established.

The details of the case pertain to the failure to settle financial obligations and violations that accumulated against the company after its closure, which prompted the judicial authorities to issue a default judgment against him on charges related to financial corruption.
