Tunisian Telegraph Clarifies Conflict Claims
Zenith Energy has faced accusations of attempting to doubt the integrity of Cecilia Carrara, the President of the Italian arbitration panel, who issued a ruling in favor of the Tunisian state in an arbitration dispute involving an amount close to $130 million. Zenith claimed that Carrara participated in conferences in Tunisia during the course of the case's proceedings, and the report also discussed the involvement of legal advisors from Tunisia. The company viewed this as an attempt to challenge the independence of the arbitration panel. However, investigations revealed that Carrara's and her accompanying team's participation was part of general professional training activities. Moreover, the relationship between lawyer Sami Huaribi and the BouSyan–Kanna law firm, which represented Tunisia, ended back in 2015, thus weakening claims of a conflict of interest. Official documents confirmed that Carrara’s participation in those events does not indicate any conflict of interest, and the Swiss court issued a report stating that she did not bear the costs of her stay in Tunisia, which were covered by either the state or the course organizers. It is worth noting that the arbitration dispute stems from Zenith’s claim for damages, which currently amount to approximately $639 million, with the company continuing to appeal before European courts and the European Court of Human Rights.
