TUNIS, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Tunisian police arrested Wadi Al Jari, the president of the Tunisian Football Federation (FTT), over suspicion of financial corruption, officials said on Thursday. Al Jari will appear today before the investigating judge, a judicial source said. Chokri Hamda, the spokesman for the Ministry of Sports said that the arrest of Al Jari, an influential figure, was due to financial corruption and an improper contract between the football federation and the technical director. Al Jari has been president of the federation since 2012. Reporting by Tarek Amara Editing by Christian RadnedgeOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

Project manager Ismo Kurki said on Friday that, while it is not intended to stop any invasion attempt, the fence will have surveillance equipment. Meanwhile, there has so far been little human activity along the border, which stretches to 1,300 km in all. Last year, Finland detected only 30 illegal crossings there, while Russian border guards stopped some 800 attempts to enter Finland, the Finnish Border Guard said. "But in this totally changed (security) situation, Finland must have more credible and more independent border control. And Finland needs to be less dependent on the Russian border control," he added.
