A Tunisian prosecutor announced an investigation into three political parties on Wednesday, including the Islamist Ennahda party. Tunisia has been gripped by political turmoil since the president sacked the government over the weekend.

Spokesperson for state financial prosecutors Mohsen Daly said that Ennahda, Heart of Tunisia and the Aish Tounsi group are under investigation for obtaining foreign funding for their electoral campaigns, the Tunisian news outlet Mosaique FM reported. The news was widely reported in Tunisian media.

On Sunday, Tunisian President Kais Saied dismissed Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi and suspended parliament for 30 days. Ennahda is the largest party in the parliament. Mechichi, though independent, is supported by the moderate Islamist party. The move led to national and international concerns that a coup had taken place.

Tunisia is now in a state of political chaos, which coincides with a fledgling economy and rising COVID-19 cases. There were widespread protests on Sunday amid Saied’s actions, with some ransacking Ennahda’s regional offices. Some Tunisians accused the president of pulling off a coup, while his supporters referred to the event as a “second revolution.”
