According to her, her client “is the victim of a homonym with a Belgian national called Sophie Anne-Marie Dumoulin, also born in 1972 and who was sentenced in 2018 in her absence to four years in prison for her involvement in a road accident in 2012.

The accident left two people seriously injured, according to the lawyer.

Sophie Mireille Dumoulin must appear Thursday before a court of first instance in Ariana in Greater Tunis which will examine the request for release presented by her lawyer.

“We hope that the Belgian embassy will help us by providing the necessary information regarding the Belgian national so that my client can be exonerated,” added the lawyer.
