On the 19th local time, a local court in Algeria sentenced former Prime Minister Selal to 4 years in prison, former Minister of Water Resources Nehib to 5 years in prison, and fined 1 million dinars (about 45,000 yuan) everywhere.
It is reported that Serral and Nehib were indicted on suspicion of involvement in a corruption case. They were accused of privately awarding a water conservancy contract to the Amenshid Group of Companies during their tenure without going through the corresponding tendering process. Other persons associated with the case were also sentenced at the same time.
