Tunisian police have detained opposition leader Rached Ghannouchi.

According to his party officials, Police raided Ghannouchi’s house on Monday evening, carrying out a search before taking him to an unknown destination.

Ghannouchi has already faced repeated rounds of judicial questioning over the past year on charges relating to Ennahda’s finances and allegations it enabled Tunisians to leave the North African country and join ISIL.
