Tunisian presidential candidate Ayachi Zammel has been sentenced to six months in prison for falsifying documents, the second prison sentence against him in a week, days before the country’s presidential election.
Tunisia’s TAP news agency reported on Wednesday that the Criminal Chamber of the Jendouba Court of First Instance sentenced Zammel to six months in prison for “deliberately using a fraudulent certificate”. Last week, Zammel was sentenced to 20 months in prison last week on charges of falsifying popular endorsements.
