The court is considering the release of journalist Zied el-Heni

The court decided to reserve the file for consideration after the hearing and set a later date, as part of what is known as the Carthage Municipality case which also involves former Minister of Culture Az-Din Bash Shaash.

The Criminal Chamber, which is considering the financial and administrative corruption cases in the Tunisian Primary Court, has decided to reserve the Carthage Municipality case file for negotiation. The case is being prosecuted by former Culture Minister and former Carthage Mayor Az-Din Bash Shaush along with Zied el-Heni.

The case is based on a complaint filed by the Heritage Society of Carthage about suspicions of missing in my private property without evaluating state property. Defence team member lawyer Ahmed Sawab explained that the omission was implemented for municipal deliberations and decisions dating back to 2008 and approved by the supervisory authority.

Set an appointment for the next session of the case. The case concerns a file of what is known as the town of Carthage.

Elyssa has previously published: On 30 October 2026 Zied el-Heni and his defence decide not to appeal his four-year prison sentence.
