La moglie dell’ex presidente tunisino Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, deposto dopo 23 anni trascorsi al potere da manifestazioni di piazza senza precendeti, sarebbe fuggita dalla Tunisia con una tonnellata e mezza d’oro. Lo rivela il quotidiano francese Le Monde, che cita fonti dei servizi segreti francesi. Secondo informazioni raccolte a Tunisi, Leila Trabelsi, la moglie del presidente, si sarebbe recata alla Banca di Tunisia per prelevare dei lingotti d’oro. Il governatore si sarebbe inizialmente opposto, e la signora Ben Ali avrebbe quindi chiamato il marito il quale, dopo essersi anch’egli opposto, avrebbe alla fine ceduto. La former First Lady of Tunisia - Le Monde - would then took a flight to Dubai, before returning to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he fled her husband. "It seems that Mrs. Ben Ali is playing with the gold," says a senior French. "One and a half tonnes of gold, worth EUR 45 million." According to Le Monde still not clear outlines of the escape of Ben Ali. The President probably did not think in such a sudden ending of the crisis, and several European chancelleries believe that his or her escape was facilitated by the Libyan security services.
