The Tunisian president's brother had fled three search warrants for national security services, according to this source. The agency does not specify the reasons for the search and seizure by the Tunisian authorities. Zine El Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia escaped last January 14 in full revolt against his rule and left the country with his wife Leila Trabelsi refuge in Saudi Arabia.
