Tunisian authorities have dismantled a money laundering and tax evasion network involving taxi ride-hailing apps, seizing approximately 12 million dinars ($4 million) from unauthorized bank accounts used by the companies.
The General Directorate of National Guards reported that these apps were operating without legal licenses and using false permits to facilitate illicit transactions.
The authorities stated that the ride-hailing apps exploited unauthorized bank accounts to transfer large sums of money abroad, violating regulations. As a result, the activities of the implicated companies have been suspended, and their headquarters were shut down.
While the specific apps involved were not named, several taxi companies in Tunisia operate via ride-hailing platforms, including Bolt, Where Driver, Yessir, and Taxi 216. This crackdown highlights the growing efforts by Tunisian authorities to address illegal financial activities within the country’s growing digital economy.
