Spoils of Ben Ali regime remain elusive - FT.com

A year after Tunisia’s president fled a revolution fuelled in part by the corruption of his regime, huge amounts of the money controlled and invested by his family and allies remain out of the reach of the country’s people and new government.
Estimates of cash, equities and property belonging to Zein al-Abidine Ben Ali and his cronies range up to billions of dollars. Some of the money remains outside the country, locked in bank accounts or investments in 12 nations, including the UK, US and France, where they are being pursued by a top lawyer.
