Tunisian ex - president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali
and his wife , already convicted in absentia
several times , have been issued new 10 - year
prison sentences for corruption, authorities said
Thursday.
They were found guilty Tuesday by a court in
Tunis in a case involving “ administrative and
financial corruption ” , said prosecution
spokesman Sofiene Sliti.
Ben Ali , who ruled Tunisia with an iron fist for
23 years , has been living in exile with his wife
in Saudi Arabia since fleeing during the 2011
revolution .
The case also saw two other officials convicted ,
including a former minister for the
environment who was jailed for five years and
another ministry official was sentenced to
three.
A relative of the exiled president ’ s wife , Leila
Trabelsi, was also sentenced to three years in
prison.
A ministerial source said the case related to the
“ commercial use” of the Club Elyssa, in the
grounds of a state - owned nature park in the
suburbs of Tunis .
Trabelsi used to organise social gatherings at
the club.
In November , the venue hosted the first public
hearings of the Truth and Dignity Commission
on human rights violations during six decades
of dictatorship .
Since Ben Ali and his wife fled , they have been
convicted in several cases, mostly for
corruption .
Ben Ali was also sentenced to life
imprisonment for the crackdown on
demonstrations during the 2011 revolution , in
which 338 people were killed .
