A Tunisian public prosecutor ordered on Tuesday the arrest of one of the country's richest business owners, Marouan Mabrouk, son-in-law of former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, on suspicion of stealing funds from state companies, a judicial official told Reuters.

Mabrouk has not been charged. It was not clear how much money Mabrouk is suspected of stealing or from which companies.

The complaint about Mabrouk was submitted by the public prosecutor for state disputes, said Mohamed Zaitouna, the spokesman for Tunis court. He is one of Ben Ali's few relatives who did not flee Tunisia after 2011. Mabrouk, however, has faced criticism that he received support and protection from successive governments after 2011.
