An Algerian military court sentenced Saïd Bouteflika to 15 years in prison, the official APS news agency reported on Wednesday (September 25th). The brother of ousted president Abdelaziz Bouteflika was tried for "undermining the authority of the army" and "conspiracy against the authority of the state".

General "Toufik" and his successor at the head of intelligence Athmane Tartag, as well as the general secretary of the Workers Party (PT, Trotskyists) Louisa Hanoune, tried in the same case before the military court of Blida, south of Algiers , have received the same punishment, according to the same source.
