Briton arrested in Tunis
The newspaper Assabah reports that a British citizen (so far unnamed) was arrested at Tunis airport while he was about to leave the country under a false identity. He has been charged with being part of a ring of illicit dealers of archaeological finds. This is the latest in a series of 22 arrests of foreigners and Tunisians resulting from a complex investigation which has been going on since December. This has led to the dismantling of a major network of dealers of illicitly made archaeological finds (statues and pottery in particular) which were being smuggled to Europe and the USA.
