TUNIS: Tunisia has received a second yacht belonging to the former dictator’s family, this time from Spain.
The $ 5 million, 32-meter yacht arrived at Tunis’ port of La Goulette on Friday.
A Spanish court of appeal in February responded to a request from Tunisian prosecutors and confiscated the yacht once owned by Belhassen Trabelsi, the brother-in-law of deposed Tunisian President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali.
Trabelsi fled Tunisia in the revolution that deposed the government in January 2011 and has asked for asylum in Montreal.
In April, Tunisia recovered a yacht from Italy belonging to Ben Ali’s nephew Kais Ben Ali.
Tunisia is seeking to recover the billions allegedly embezzled by Ben Ali’s family during his 23-year-rule.
