The first case concerns a conciliation agreement concluded with the Tunisian residing in France Abdelmajid Boudin, as part of the Franco-Tunisian bank file. The accusation chamber decided to issue a warrant for him against him in this case.
The second case relates to a conciliation agreement concluded by the truth and dignity with Slim Chiboub, with a refusal of its release.

She had started a hunger strike in January 2025 to denounce what she considered a judicial relentlessness. On February 19, 2025, Tunisian justice finally ordered its release.
For his part, Mabrouk Korchid, former Minister of State and Land Affairs, was prosecuted in a separate case also linked to IVD activities, but he is currently free But would be based abroad and continues to intervene in the media as a lawyer and politician.
