Plastic Surgeon Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison for Smuggling Corrupt “Botox” from Turkey to Tunisia

The Criminal Chamber specialized in financial corruption cases at the Court of First Instance in Tunis sentenced a plastic surgeon to 11 years in prison after convicting her of smuggling quantities of corrupt “Botox” from Turkey to promote it in Tunisia.

The Criminal Chamber also ruled a four-year prison term against five other defendants, including a corporal in Diwanah and two employees of the Tunisair company, who were accused of colluding with the doctor and covering up for her.

According to the case file papers, customs officers at Tunis-Carthage International Airport were able, during the month of June of 2021, to seize an important amount of “Botox” coming from Turkey, to prove that it was expired and was accompanied by a doctor specializing in plastic surgery.

With further research, it was revealed that there were other defendants who colluded with the doctor by covering her up and facilitating the passage of her spoiled goods. (Russia Today)
