The security forces are tracking down a girl dressed in fake money with fines and giving them a place set up for undercover prostitution in Ariana State in coordination with the prosecution.

The security teams of Manouba's Justice Police and the National Security Centre moved to Dandan after information surfaced that a girl tried to send a postcard through Dandan's post office using counterfeit banknotes. The girl, dressed in a mailbox with suspicious money, set up field investigations to uncover the source of these papers and the route of their circulation.

The suspect shouted during the preliminary investigations that she received the money from a young man of African nationality who she identified and had sex with in exchange inside an Ariana's house. And after those reports, the security forces raided that house to find inside a second girl of African nationality who confessed to renting the store and turning it into an organized secret prostitution whorehouse.

Reservations inside the house included large amounts of counterfeit paper money prepared for promotion, as well as a state-of-the-art printing press used in counterfeiting operations, along with other items and equipment directly related to this illegal criminal activity.

The case was launched following the detection of financial and ethical violations and the follow-up to the movements of those involved based on official notices that reached security, with the Prosecutor General authorizing Ariana after reviewing her to retain the girl who tried to send the e-mail, with the young suspect being listed on the checklist as the main provider of those counterfeit banknotes, while investigations continue to uncover the rest of the network's possible extensions.
