Algerian authorities have arrested Tunisia’s former presidential candidate Nabil Karoui, after he entered Algeria secretly and illegally.
According to the Tunisian media, Karoui, the owner of the Nessma television channel and head of the Heart of Tunisia political party, the second-largest in parliament, was arrested with his brother Ghazi Karoui, a lawmaker.
After he spent more than six months in Tunisian custody on money laundering and tax evasion charges, Karoui was released on June 15.
The Court is still probing his case.
The media mongul has not appeared in public since President Kais Saied dismissed his prime minister, froze parliament, and assumed executive authority last month, in a sudden intervention that his Islamist opponents have labeled a coup.
The U.S. military has carried out an airstrike in the Afghan capital on Sunday to avert an “imminent” threat to Kabul airport from a local offshoot of the Islamic State terrorist militia. A drone successfully hit a car belonging to the terrorist group called Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K, according to the U.S. military.
