Bolt suspended in Tunisia over allegations of money laundering and tax evasion
- Tunisian authorities suspended Bolt amid allegations of money laundering and tax evasion.
- Approximately 12 million Tunisian dinars were frozen in accounts related to Bolt's operations.
- Bolt is accused of operating without proper licensing and transferring revenues abroad without fulfilling local tax obligations.
The suspension of Bolt raises critical questions about the balance between regulatory compliance and the need for accessible transportation options in Tunisia. A more collaborative approach between authorities and ride-hailing companies could foster a healthier business environment while ensuring adherence to local laws. The situation underscores the importance of establishing clear regulations that support innovation without stifling growth in the digital economy.
