Five Arrested for Selling Cheating Devices in Tunisia's Baccalaureate Exams

The investigating judge at the primary court in Tunis has issued detention orders for five suspects, among them a secondary school teacher and a student, accused of selling cheating tools for the baccalaureate exams.

Judicial sources indicated that investigations began after agents from the Sub-Directorate of Economic and Financial Research within the Judicial Police in El-Gargani monitored Facebook pages and accounts promoting the sale of cheating devices for national exams.

Security authorities initially identified the owners of these pages, subsequently arresting five suspects and confiscating quantities of cheating materials intended for the baccalaureate tests.

Separately, the public prosecutor's office at the primary court in Siliana issued detention orders against nine students, aged between 18 and 19 years, charged with cheating in a national examination using earpieces, in accordance with regulations penalizing cheating in exams.

A judicial source clarified that these students were caught cheating with earpieces during the baccalaureate test at an institute in the Bouarada delegation.
