TUNIS – The investigating judge in the judicial pole to combat terrorism in Tunisia decided to ban travel to both the current leader of the Islamic Renaissance Movement, Noureddine Al-Behairi, and the former Minister of Justice, Hammadi Al-Jabali, as well as the movement’s vice-president and former leader, Hammadi Al-Jabali.
The decision to forbid travel is connected to the investigation into the case of fraudulently obtaining passports and providing citizenship to foreigners.
When Al-Buhairi was working for the Ministry of Justice, Tawfiq Sharaf El-Din, the interior minister of Tunisia, indicated that there were severe terrorism accusations, documents of documents of passports, and the granting of identity cards and certificates in Tunisian nationality against Al-Buhairi.
Al-Buhairi was detained by Tunisian authorities last year, after which he was put under house arrest and later taken to the hospital due to a health issue. He was later freed on bail.
Al -Buhairi held the position of Minister of Justice in the government of Hammadi Al -Jabali between 2011 and 2013, then he became an accredited minister with the prime minister in the government of Ali Al -Areed between 2013 and 2014.
Al -Buhairi is seen as one of the closest close associates to Ghannouchi, and he is accused by his opponents of being involved in controlling the judiciary during his tenure.
In reference to its extensive influence, the judiciary was referred to as “Al-Buhairi District” in the years after the 2011 revolution.
The investigation into the Tunisian nationality network for Syrians was concluded by the investigating judge in the Judicial Anti-Terrorism Pole in November of last year, but it was unclear whether Al-suspension Buhairi’s was related to this issue at the time.
The network members are allegedly accused of “falsifying Tunisian citizenship and selling it to Syrians and others and falsifying passports and identity cards for their benefit in exchange for sums of money estimated at thousands of dollars for one nationality between 2015 and 2019,” according to local Mosaique radio.
The former prime minister Hammadi Al-Jabali was detained by Tunisian security forces in June of last year on suspicion of money laundering. At the time, interior spokeswoman Fadila Al-Khulaifi said that “3 people, including Al-Jabali, said on charges of laundering money affiliated with a group called Namaa Tounes after the availability of information about receiving the group’s money from the outside.
Prior to that, Al-wife Jabali’s was detained by the police on suspicion of hiring undocumented Africans and having dangerous chemicals in a factory he owned, just before he had invited her to appear in court.
