Tunisian judicial authorities have ordered the detention of renowned rapper "A.L.A" (Alaa) pending investigations into a case linked to a network involved in the distribution of illegal substances.

According to security sources, the artist was arrested last week while on his way to participate in the "Tataouine International Festival," which led to his unexpected absence from the event and raised questions among attendees who were anticipating his performance.

An Active Network in Illegal Substance Distribution

Security investigations revealed the existence of an active network involved in the distribution of illegal substances. Several individuals were arrested, while others, including rapper Alaa, were added to the wanted list.

The news sparked significant reactions online, with opinions divided between those criticizing the artist—claiming his behavior negatively influences his young audience—and others who expressed support for the ongoing security campaign, praising the efforts of the authorities in tackling the issue.

This development follows the arrest of another rapper, Samah Riyahi, known as "Samara," earlier this year as part of the same nationwide campaign.
