Committal warrant issued for former security officer Fethi Beldi

The First Investigating Judge of the Counter Terrorism Judicial Division issued, on Friday, a committal warrant for former security officer Fethi Beldi, over granting the Tunisian nationality to foreign nationals implicated in international terrorism cases, said spokeswoman for the Counter Terrorism Division and First Deputy of the Public Prosecutor Hanen Gaddes. Beldi was heard and had a confrontation with a witness in this case. The committal warrant was issued in connection with the same case in which former Justice Minister Noureddine Bhiri was arrested too, she told TAP. The Counter Terrorism Judicial Division took up the case of illegally granting the Tunisian nationality to foreign nationals involved in international terrorism cases, contrary to the law in 2013, when Noureddine Bhiri was Minister of Justice (2011-2013).
