Thursday, February 20, 2025, the criminal chamber of the Tunis court of first instance pronounced a sentence of four years in prison, accompanied by the ban on exercising a public service, against Wadii Jary, the ex-president of the Tunisian Football Federation.

The charges against Wadii Jary also include damage to the administration, in connection with a recruitment contract concluded for a former technical director of national football teams.
In the same case, a technical framework, currently on bond, was sentenced to six years in prison.
