The EU cannot recover any of the €150m paid to Tunisia, despite increasing links to human rights abuses, according to The Guardian newspaper investigation. Concerns are growing that funds from the migration deal are connected to abuses by the repressive regime in Tunis. The European Commission allocated the funds to Tunisia under a migration and development deal, despite concerns over the country's growing authoritarianism.
