Court in Sousse Imposes Fines on Three Lawyers

The criminal chamber of the Sousse court has issued a ruling imposing fines of 60,000 Tunisian dinars on three lawyers. This decision is the first application of financial penalties against legal practitioners since the amendment of Decree-Law 54.

The ruling was based on provisions of the decree related to combating crimes involving information and communication systems. Legal and professional circles are awaiting the steps that will be taken by the structures representing the legal profession to challenge these fines.
