Former Algerian Industry Minister Ali Aoun has been sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted of corruption, local media reported.
Aoun, who was the minister for industry and pharmaceutical production between 2022 and 2024, was jailed on Monday in a high-profile corruption case that saw several senior figures convicted, the Algerian online news site Dzair Tube reported
According to the news site, prosecutors had sought a 12-year sentence for the former minister, and 10 year sentences for several other defendants. Aoun was also ordered by the Economic and Financial Criminal Court in the capital, Algiers, to pay a fine of 1 million Algerian dinar (approximately $7,500
Local media said the case revolved around the irregular sales of ferrous and non-ferrous metal waste in violation of public asset management rules
“The case centred on accusations of corruption, mismanagement and the unlawful awarding of industrial and investment contracts, notably involving the trade in ferrous waste and copper residues,” Dzair Tube reported
The AFP news agency said that several other officials were also convicted, though some were acquitted due to a lack of evidence
Among those convicted was the former minister’s son, Mehdi Aoun, who was handed a six-year prison term as part of the same case, while investors, an official at a state-owned business and a prominent businessman received sentences of between three and 10 years, according to Dzair Tube
The case and the convictions come amid an ongoing anticorruption drive launched by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who came to power in 2019 amid widespread pro-democracy protests.
Tebboune’s campaign against corruption has targeted senior officials, including from the era of former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, AFP reports.

Panicked sailors pleaded with the Iranian navy after coming under fire in the Strait of Hormuz.
An audio recording revealed a tense exchange between the crew on board an Indian-flagged oil tanker and Iranian officials enforcing military control over the waterway.
This is motor tanker Sanmar Herald. You gave me clearance to go. My name is second on your list. You are firing now. Let me turn back,” a voice says from the Sanmar Herald.
The incident is believed to be the first of its kind in recent weeks and came after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sealed the strait again in response to the US continuing its naval blockade.
It also appears to show that Iran’s naval capability remains a threat to shipping despite heavy US and Israeli air strikes.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations said the tanker was “approached by 2 IRGC gunboats” which later “fired upon” the vessel.
Around the same time, a container ship was hit by an unknown projectile in the strait, the body reported.
Iran’s armed forces on Sunday said they had turned back two further tankers attempting to transit the strait, the semi-official ⁠Tasnim news agency reported.
The Sanmar Herald incident also suggests that Iran still has enough gunboats to harass maritime traffic despite the seven-week bombardment.
Air strikes have sunk much of Tehran’s conventional navy of larger vessels, but the IRGC has spent years building up a “mosquito fleet” of small craft and speedboats.
The small and agile attack craft have been central to Tehran’s ability to close the strait, even against the might of far larger and more powerful US navy vessels.
It was not immediately clear what type of vessel or what sort of weapons had been used against the Sanmar Herald, but Iran’s small boats are said to be armed with everything from heavy machine guns to missiles and drones.
They can also drop sea mines, which is another crucial part of Tehran’s arsenal to keep the strait closed.
Last month, it was reported that Iran may have released mines into the waterway. While officials have not been clear on how many may be present, clearing them will be key to finally opening the strait, analysts say.
The US military has begun using remote-controlled sea drones to help clear the waterway, the Wall Street Journal reported.The US military has begun using remote-controlled sea drones to help clear the waterway, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Both the US navy and the Royal Navy have pivoted away from traditional minesweeper vessels in recent years to the use of drone boats and submarines to find and dispose of mines at a safe distance.
Meanwhile, US intelligence estimates reckon Iran has retained around two fifths of its drone arsenal.
Intelligence assessments say that Iran has been recovering missile launchers and missiles buried underground or under rubble.
When this is complete, the country will have access to as much as 60 per cent of its pre-war total of missile launchers and 70 per cent of its total of missiles, the New York Times reported.When this is complete, the country will have access to as much as 60 per cent of its pre-war total of missile launchers and 70 per cent of its total of missiles, the New York Times reported.
The assessment comes despite US officials declaring that destroying missile stocks and missile production were key war aims.
Donald Trump said in the early hours of the war that America would “destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground”.
Majid Mousavi, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s Aerospace Force, ⁠claimed it was now able to update and replenish its missile and ‌drone launchers at a higher rate than before the war.

A French soldier serving with the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has been killed, and three others were wounded in an attack that UNIFIL and French officials said was likely carried out by Hezbollah.
Three other members of the peacekeeping mission were wounded in the attack in the village of Ghandouriyeh in southern Lebanon, UNIFIL said on Saturday, two of them seriously.
UNIFIL noted that initial assessments indicated they came from non-state actors, allegedly Hezbollah, and that an investigation had been launched into what it called “a deliberate attack”
In calls with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the “unacceptable attack”, his office said in a statement on Saturday
Macron also said the evidence so far pointed to the Lebanese armed group and urged the Lebanese government to act against those responsible.
The Iran-aligned armed group rejected the allegations, calling for “exercising caution in issuing judgements regarding the incident”
“We deny any connection to us with the incident that occurred with UNIFIL forces in the Ghandouriyeh area in Bint Jbeil,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
French Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin said the patrol was ambushed while on a mission to open a route to a UNIFIL post that had been isolated by fighting in the area. The soldier was killed by direct small-arms fire, she said.
Lebanon’s army condemned the shooting and said it had opened an investigation
President Aoun has also offered condolences and ordered an immediate probe, while Prime Minister Salam condemned the attack.
The deadly incidents come just days after an Israel-Lebanon 10-day ceasefire took effect and days before a truce in the United States-Israel war on Iran was set to expire.
Lebanon was drawn into the war in early March after Hezbollah fired rockets towards Israel in response to the US-Israeli killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on February 28. Israel responded with a devastating bombing campaign and a ground invasion that killed more than 2,000 people and forced more than 1.2 million others from their homes
The declaration of a ceasefire in Lebanon was seen as a boost to efforts for an agreement to end the US-Israel war on Iran. Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said fighting between Israel and Hezbollah had been a key sticking point in US-Iran talks last weekend in Islamabad.
It was not clear whether Hezbollah would abide by a truce it did not play a role in negotiating, especially when it leaves Israeli troops occupying a stretch of southern Lebanon.
UNIFIL, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, was first deployed in 1978 along the border between Israel and Lebanon and has remained through successive conflicts, including a 2024 war during which its positions came under repeated fire.
Last month, two UN peacekeepers were killed in southern Lebanon amid Israel’s ground invasion of the country. UNFIL said they were killed when an explosion of unknown origin destroyed their vehicle.
World leaders have condemned the escalating violence and attacks on peacekeepers.
Last month, in a post on X, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on all parties to the war to abide by international law and ensure the security of all UN personnel.
This is just one of a number of recent incidents that have jeopardized the safety & security of peacekeepers,” Guterres had said.

Funding rates at 2023 lows signal the market is heavily short against bitcoin, ZeroStack's Daniel Reis-Faria says, setting up conditions for a forced unwind if prices push higher.
The MSCI All Country World Index closed at a record high Thursday before slipping 0.1% in Asia. The S&P 500 also hit an all-time high. Brent crude fell 1.2% to $98.20 after President Donald Trump said prospects for a permanent Iran ceasefire were "looking very good."
Trump claimed, without evidence, that Tehran had agreed to give up its nuclear ambitions, turn over nuclear material, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of the deal. Iran has not confirmed those concessions.
A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was announced separately on Thursday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirming the truce in a video message. Markets are trading the headlines as if the deal is closer than it is, which is part of why equities have unwound most of the war premium while crude remains near $98 and the Strait of Hormuz is still effectively shut.
However, the setup underneath the flat bitcoin price action is what some traders are paying attention to.
Bitcoin perpetual funding rates have turned deeply negative in recent sessions, reaching levels last seen in 2023. Funding is the periodic payment perpetual futures traders exchange with each other to keep contract prices aligned with spot. When it goes negative, shorts are paying longs, which only happens when the market is heavily positioned against price.
Funding rates this negative tell you the market is heavily short," Daniel Reis-Faria, CEO of ZeroStack, said in a note shared with CoinDesk. "If Bitcoin continues to move higher despite that, a lot of those positions could get liquidated, and the move can accelerate quickly."
Reis-Faria expects bitcoin could reach $125,000 in the next 30 to 60 days if the short base gets squeezed out.
The contrarian read from on-chain analyst CryptoVizArt is that bitcoin's "True Market Mean," a metric that estimates the average cost basis of active investors by filtering out lost and dormant coins, suggests the average active holder is currently underwater.
Since 2016, meaningful stretches below the True Market Mean have aligned with bitcoin's worst periods, including the 2018-19 bear (-57% max drawdown, 282 days) and the 2022-23 unwind after the Luna and FTX collapses (-56%, 339 days).
The two reads do not have to be in conflict. A short squeeze from negative funding and a structural drawdown from underwater holders can both be true, with the former triggering the kind of outsized rally that ultimately gets sold into by the latter.
Which scenario dominates likely depends on whether the U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension holds past next week.
