RE: LADY OF AIM X TWEET CECILIA16 Apr 2026 16:20
I took the screenshot from LadyOfAim, put it into Online OCR to get the French as text, then put that into Google Translate to get it in English, here's what it says about the charges:
Far from giving up, Zenith appealed this decision to the Swiss Federal Court on September 15, and according to our information, the group did not stop there: Canadian North Africa O11 & Gas (CNAOG), a subsidiary of the oil group, has just filed a complaint with the Paris public prosecutor against Cecilia Carrara, the president of the arbitration tribunal that ruled on their dispute. This is likely to reignite already high tensions between the two parties. A first arbitration, issued in 2024, between the Tunisian state and the Canadian company resulted in a victory for the latter, allowing it to pocket the $1.7 million, while a third case—in which Zenith is claiming $572 million—is pending before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
The complaint, filed in Paris where the arbitration proceedings took place, opens a new front in this already complex case. Brought by lawyer Jean-Baptiste Soufron of the firm FPWA, it questions the impartiality of the Italian lawyer and highlights her "links to the Republic of Tunisia." These "links are, to say the least, surprising," according to the document consulted by L'Informé, and could constitute passive corruption and breach of trust. The lawyer's participation in November 2023 in a training course on "arbitration counsel practice," organized in Tunis by the Ifriqya Arbitration Forum, SOAS University of London, and the Tunisian National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce, has indeed raised eyebrows. At that time, the arbitration proceedings were already underway. However, several participants and organizers of this training had ties to the Tunisian authorities, or were even responsible for representing the interests of the Maghreb state in the dispute opposing them to Zenith. All of these elements should, according to the energy group, have been communicated to the parties and to the ICC. These same questions are also at the heart of the appeal filed before the Swiss Federal Court.
