ALGIERS (Reuters) - Four brothers from the Kouninef family - billionaires close to Algeria's former president Abdelaziz Bouteflika - have been placed in temporary custody by a judge, Ennahar TV reported on Wednesday.
The four were arrested on Monday as part of an anti-graft investigation alongside Algeria's wealthiest businessman, Issad Rebrab.
