An appeal court in Algeria on Thursday sentenced the alleged daughter of ousted President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to 12 years in prison after she was convicted in corruption cases.
The Appeal Court of Tipaza fined Zoulikha Nachinache, known as Maya, six million Algerian dinars, and ruled to confiscate all of her real estate.
The court also issued a ruling against a number of Bouteflika s regime officials who have been involved in the same case, including Abdelghani Zaalane, former Minister of Transport and the last director of Bouteflika s presidential campaign, who was sentenced to eight years in prison and fined one million Algerian dinars.
