Wife of Tunisian president fled riot-torn country with 1.5 TONNES of gold

The wife of Tunisia's ousted ruler has fled the country with 1.5 tonnes of gold worth more than £35m, it was revealed today.

President Zine El Abidin Ben Ali's wife Leila Trabelsi - dubbed the Imelda Marcos of the Arab world - is said to have ordered the Tunisian central bank chief to hand over the gold bars last week.

When the bank boss initially refused, she begged her husband to authorise the release of the bullion, and he gave in to her
demands, French daily Le Monde reports.

After taking possession of the gold, Trabelsi, 53, flew first to Dubai then on to the Saudi capital Jeddah to join her husband, who had escaped there on Friday.
