Italy to return seized Ben Ali yacht to Tunisia


ROME (Reuters) - An Italian court on Thursday ordered the repatriation of a luxury yacht belonging to ousted Tunisian ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali which was seized after his overthrow during the "Arab Spring" uprisings.

The yacht, together with "a considerable sum of money" held in an Italian bank account, will be sent to Tunisia as soon as logistics have been finalised, the Rome court said in a statement. It gave no details about the size of the assets.
