FETHI BELAID / AFPTunisia could lose millions of dollars stashed in Switzerland by the family of ousted dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, a senior official said Saturday.
Swiss-based campaign group Public Eye, which investigates human rights violations by Swiss companies, estimates Ben Ali’s family and allies shifted some $320 million into Swiss banks in the years before his ouster. The Swiss have reportedly demanded documents to prove the funds are indeed illegal, before they could return it to Tunisia’s government.
Was the money stolen from Switzerland? How often this kind of thing keep happening. Don't they know from day one that the money was stolen? When they want to seize money's deposited...a propaganda push is needed. They better return the money to Tunisia.
