Sami Trabelsi Sentenced In Absentia to Two Years in Prison and Half a Million Tunisian Dinars Fine (1.6 Million Moroccan Dirhams)
The Criminal Chamber for Financial Corruption Cases at the Tunis Court of First Instance has sentenced former international player and ex-coach of the Tunisian national team, Sami Trabelsi, in absentia to two years in prison, in addition to a substantial financial fine.
Trabelsi's case, along with several other individuals, was referred to the same Criminal Chamber for trial on charges related to customs and banking offenses.
The financial penalties imposed on Sami Trabelsi have exceeded 500,000 Tunisian Dinars (approximately 1.6 million Moroccan Dirhams).
The two-year prison sentence, handed down in absentia, stems from a company established by the former Tunisian national team coach. After the company's closure, accumulated debts and financial irregularities were not settled, leading to suspicions of "financial corruption."
