Ghazi Chaouachi, the former SG of the Democratic Current, was heard Friday by the investigating judge at the Tunis Court of First Instance and kept at liberty.
This was in a case brought against him by the Minister of Justice, on the basis of decree-law No. 2022-54, lawyer Ayachi Hammami told TAP.
Proceedings were initiated over remarks to the media in which Chaouachi said case files were fabricated against opponents.
Chaouachi will not be released Friday though as he is detained on charges of plotting against the internal and external security of the state, the lawyer further said.
Two cases were filed against Ghazi Chaouachi by the justice minister in late 2022 over comments to the media in connection to the resignation of Premier Najla Bouden and the fabricated file cases against opponents.
