A few days ago, Tunisian finance minister said on state television that bitcoin will be legalized in Tunisia, "I will (push) to amend the law. A young Tunisian can't be put in prison just because he bought bitcoin."

It is worth mentioning that the Tunisian police arrested a 17-year-old young man who said he was involved in money laundering in the bitcoin transaction.

In response, Mustapha boufares, founder of DFI blockchain, said, "this arrest is not because of a crime, but because Tunisia has no law on cryptocurrency at all. The young man was arrested on money laundering charges because he was unable to determine the exact source of the money.
