The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of money laundering and collection of donations without a legal licence. The office requested the court to penalise the defendant according to the relevant laws.

The court ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for four years and that he should pay a fine of 115000 Dinars. The court ruled that the money should be confiscated.

The defendant made an objection to the court. The court acquitted the defendant.

The office appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for five years and that he should pay a fine of 120000 Dinars. The court ruled that the money should be confiscated.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that the court had established the ruling on the grounds of witnesses’ testimonies though they were in contradiction with the incident.
