Algerian national labeled « highly dangerous » arrested in Tunisia

A Tunisian National Guard unit in the Sahloul region of Sousse has arrested an Algerian citizen wanted in his home country for drug trafficking. Intelligence work by the Central Brigade for Combatting Narcotics allowed authorities to locate and apprehend the man, who is considered a highly dangerous criminal. While the suspect's identity was not disclosed, he is reportedly involved in several narcotics cases in Algeria. The arrest occurs as Algeria strengthens its legislative and operational framework against drug trafficking, notably through the development of a DEA-style anti-narcotics agency and the construction of a high-security prison in the Tanezrouft desert.
