This ruling pertains to the corruption case involving the "ANAD" agency and the "Alrim" company. Furthermore, the court imposed heavy fines on the former minister, totaling 10 million dinars payable to the public treasury, 7 million to "Alrim", and 600,000 dinars to "ANAD". Other defendants involved in the case received varying sentences, ranging from suspended to firm prison terms.
