Brazzaville suffers major setback in Commisimpex arbitration in Paris
An arbitration court in Paris has rejected Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso's latest appeal to overturn a tribunal ruling ordering Congo to pay over $1.5bn to Mohsen Hojeij's company, Commisimpex. It's a legal setback that exposes the methods of the lawyers and private investigators hired by Brazzaville to try to establish a corruption link between the Lebanese businessman and one of the arbitrators.
