Senior officials in Mauritania revealed that cutting the Internet services off mobile across the country today, Saturday came among a package of precautionary measurements to thwart cheating in exams of qualifying teachers.

Services of the Internet failed since 8 A.M.  to give the candidates to sit again to perform exams in two subjects which had been leaked.

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Public Job, Ministry of Education, and the National Committee for Competitions have announced an external competition to conscript 800 persons but thousands run for that competition.

On the other hand, a judge in Mauritania has decided to freeze assets and balances of former President  Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz and twelve suspects for charges of corruption.

Among the suspects are his brother-in-law, former ministers, and businessmen.

But the lawyer of Ould Abdel Aziz said last Tuesday that the judge of an investigation into economic crimes and corruption decided to charge the former president and others with laundering money, graft,  leverage, and damage to the interests and property of the state. "

The Mauritian judiciary apparatus put the suspects under surveillance last month and prevented them from leaving the capital without advance permission and enforce them to appear three-time weekly in police headhunter.

Solicitors of Ould Abdel Aziz headed for the Court of Appeals to challenge this decision to let him go to another place in the country.

Mauritian expect the legislative council to form the Supreme Court to try the former president according to Constitution.
