Regrettebly we were   PUNİSHED   by  unknown Powers. Please refer to attached official  reports , legal evidences  and   self- explicative  documents.

Legally  established companies Wibotex S.A & Syhpax Special Confection S.A. employed 420 Tunisien workers. The factory is located in the free zone area and benefited  from the rights  arising their status as 100% exporter (loi-72) since their inception  1973 &  1987

The companie  S.S.C.S.A.(Ex-WBS) is prorietaire of 6671 m2 land and 3892m.factory .

The production machine park contained  614 sewing machines. Collaboration with important European defence administrations testifies degree of manufacturing capacity. The companies enjoyed the quality system RFA-AQUAP4 and got it’s İSO-9002 certificate in 1995.

The companies has been known for many years prosperity employing up to more than 500 workers and subcontractors by the tenders obtained through mother company the firma Heinrich Winnen GmbH-Hohberg-Germany. However due to a policy of high salary and bonus system introduced by the former German owner  W.B.S lost its competitiveness that has been exacerbated by the fall in the volume and orders.   Due  to  the   financial  crisis  during 1996  the  companies  WİNNEN & BORGİ   were  on  the  brink  of  bankcruptcy.

YEGİN Turkish manufacturing group purchased the companies on 1996 and prevented the  PERMANENT  closure of the Factory saved 420 employees  contributed to world economy between 1996 -2000 peacefuly.

LES  DEUX SOCİETES  ont  REDEMARRE  de NOUVEAU ET  CE  EST GRACE A YEGİN

As soon as purchasing the companies in Sfax,YEGİN GROUP Re-invested, re-employeed all 420 Tunisien workers and contributedto the sustainable development in Tunisia between 1996 – 2000.  Regardless our companies encountered violation of rule of law as explained at the attached self eplicative documents and reports. İn fact YEGİN companies were not in financial difficulty at the time of opening of C.N.S.S. case, rather demonstrated capacity, enthusiasm and goodwill by paying all creditors, salaries of workers on the amount of 1345000.000 T.D.  Between 1.7.1999 – 4.05.2000.

On May 12th may 2000 in our absance/during forcefull siege by UGTT The National fund of Social Security (C.N.S.S.) appealed to the Court of First İnstance of Sfax to begin  the  Judicial  settlement  procedures against  Syphax Special Confection S.A. C.N.S.S. claiming that the S.S.C. S.A.owe the sum of 343000 dinar.  İn our opinion appealing  to the court by the CNSS  is in breach of  signed official aggreements and its obligations, both lawyer F.JAMMOUSSİ  and  CNSS  jointly responsible. Because an instalment agreement  signed & stamped  with  C.N.S.S. dated  20.12.1999 (S.S.C.) and on   22.12.1999  for Wibotex S.A.  But unfortunately 235 days of production and financial activities between 30.6.1999-15.02.2000 has not been considered by the appointed expert – C.N.S.S. and consequently by the court.)

The court of first instance in sfax, authorized, by a judicial decision, on 5.06.2000 to start  reglement judiaciare procedures according to the same judicial decision sole expert A. R.Ghorbel appointed to study and to prepare a report the economical and financial situation of the company and to find a solution of rescue.  The judicial experts are bound never to mislead the court, nevertheless expert A.R.Ghorbel has committed unlawfull actions against  innocent, vulnerable, defenseless Turkish investor and 420 Tunisian workers.   Expert R.G. omitted to submit real legal updated documents to the court arrete 15.02.2000. İN CONSEQUENCE sole expert  MİSLEADED  the court.

 Expert R.G. was the goverment commissaire of our companies thus he attended executive  meetings (Process verbal des deliberatıons du conseil d’administratıon)  of our companies during 1999-2000 He had all related up-dated financial data and documents in his possession  i.e. blance reports minutes of meetings etc. R.G.Received honoraries from WİBOTEX & SYHPAX SPECİAL CONFECTİON S.A.

The court’s reasoning of decision of insolvency based 30.6.1999 report as shown below.  Although companies contuined to production and financial activities  until forcefull illegal occupatıon  by the UGTT on 15.2.2000.

Expert R.G.misses the 1999 year-end  balance sheet  which is crucial for such expertise.Please note proper updated books  of accounting  according to legal Tunisien accounting and  book-keeping systems have been  kept until the forcefull  occupation of the factory  by U.G.T.T.

 Financial  situation was inflated in the liabilities by the mention of a debt of 798215.000 d. of the YEGİN . it is curious that a legal expert appointed to find a solution to a successful companies and aware that this company is innovative in technology ofclothingbusiness, mentions a debt being in the current account partners, only to burden the liabilities; as a matter of principle it is the opposite approach.

The symbol of  one  of the economic monument  in Sfax was in process of  unfair, unjust  bankcruptcy  decision based on a unexistent debt as  above reported by the sole expert R.G.

Please note during all year 2000-01 our companies and our factory  under UGTT’s unlawfull siege.   Eventhough bid on 325000 piece of tender of Ministry of defence France successfully won by YEGİN.  Delivery conditions of contract  related to said contract was duly formed in full compliance and conformity byTunisian & French laws. But  due to forceful occupation of the factory by U.G.T.T.We couldn’t respect the terms and conditions of the tender.

Production companies should exercise of all rights under the covenant on an equal basis with others. Unfortunately expert R.Ghorbel liquitated our companies, sold  all our assets including high-performance PAFF machines & manufactured Military Uniforms to the competition ( Tomtex S.A) , who resold it to French army (SERCAT) at an inflated price.

Unfortunately it is a typical situation of conjunction of mentioned negative factors, which became worse by the discriminatory interference by the appointed expert. Positive obligation under the right to  protect & behave  in the context & light of  EQUİALİTY of ARMS the expert  breached  fiduciary duties  thereby  putting  the  future  of  the  companies  and  it’s  assets  at  risk.

Expert R.G. Liquitated our companies & sold  all our assets including high-performance PAFF machine and manufactured Military Uniforms to the competition (Tomtex S.A) The logic (!)  of these wrongdoings and juridique maneouvres at the cost of  future of Tunisia. 

Formun Üstü

Production companies should exercise of all rights under the covenant on an equal basis This unjustifiable bankcruptcy case against companies WİBOTEX S.A & S.S.C.S.A. a final blow at all truth, it will be written in history it was possible for this ECONOMİC crime to be committed.

I will tell the truth, for I have promised to tell it, it is my duty to explain  and prove.

A calamitous man has managed it all, has done it all. A.R.Ghorbel expert-accountant in Sfax. He is the entire the PREMEDİATED BANKCRUPTCY case; it will be fully known only when a sincere investigation shall have clearly established his acts and responsibilities, its he who conceived the idea of prepering-dictating the above mentioned illegal report.

Please note our companies  contunuied production activities until 15.2.2000.  I repeat  WİBOTEX S.A. and  S.S.C.S.A. Both companies contunied  production / financial activities until 15.2.2000. Please focus your attention to the date of report & creditor’s list.

As you  will  notice  there is the creditor : YEGİN- he is the owner.

Please note  during  2000- 2001  our factory  under  U.G.T.T.’s unlawfull forcefull siege, without legal ground also opening of  reglement judiciare by the CNSS dates 12.5.2000. groundless.

HİGHLİGHTS –  İNFORMATİON  FİLE WİBOTEX & S.S.C.

The  court’s  bankcruptcy   verdict   based  on  outdated   ex-financial   figures   of  30.6.1999  which  has  no juridique  value, as our  companies  contunied  for  production  and  paid all the outstanding   debts  between    30.06.1999 / 15.02.2000. including all employee salaries,overhead expenses  etc. An agreement of instaşment for both companies signed & stamped with  C.N.S.S. Production and financial  activities contuined between  1973- 15.02.2000 without any red mark in  S.T.B. BANK during 27 years,which  has not  been  considered by the  expert and by the court. Appointed  sole  expert  ignored  the companies updated financial 31.12.1999 year end blance-report and STB bank  reports.The appointed expert also omitted production activities & financial transactions activities during second half of 1999 and the payments on 2000 – 2001.

Tous les salaires ont été payés jusqu’en janvier 2000, et aucune mention n’a été faite dans le Rapport de Ghorbel, qui n’a pas interrogé les employés, ni écrit à la Banque pour connaître la situationThere is an evident conflict of interest for Mr. Ghorbal and the lawyers should have denied him especially that, as auditor reviewing the financial statements, of our companies WİBOTEX S.A. & S.S.C.S.A. He  was / is aware on the UPDATED companies situation.

When the sit-ins started  we communicated to Sfax Governer and the primer delege   have met and explained with primer delege in Sfax governerate  no  positive result or assistance,sit-ins are illegal and occupation is contrary to the law. We also sent  letters Prime Minister  and  met  with  S.O.S. director  and met the minister of foreign investment.

But the party which was most negative is the cases examined, was the Judiciary staff, namely the Judge Imen Cherif. Pls be informed  to the fact that there were / are  family ties between that Judge and Ghorbel’s lawyer Mr Makni, and this is not ethical; the conflict of interest does not to seem a notion respected by the Sfax legal circles. This point is essential and could lead us to lodge a complaint before the General Inspection of Ministry of Justice.

As for the so called facts leading both companies to be under proceedings of Act of 1995 or of bankruptcy, the facts were not so serious at the moment Lawyer Jamoussi instituted the proceedings.  We must endeavour to obtain an expertise from CNSS to determine whether at the date which the Court set as a date of stop of payments, was real or not. Please re-review the attestations and instalment aggreements with CNSS that could be the trigger to institute proceedings against the court of Sfax,and CNSS for Aunjustified proceedings and request cancellation of the judgements. Because the court has ignored the CNSS moratorium, (Duly signed and stamped aggreements)  and should have suspended all the ongoing suits instead of declaring bankruptcy. Strong proofs / Evidences  to claim our legitimite rights. Duly Signed CNSS  instalment aggreements, written attestations.

The expert ignored that a spreading was signed on December 20th ,1999 with the social security administration for a total debt of 213,559d,  and also that the period spread out over 3 years  namely from January 20th, 2000 to December 20th, 2002 with a monthly payment of 5339d.575 and an initial slice of 21,153d.435 paid the same day. (receipt no 85575).

The admissibility of the request of Jamousi in May, 2000 to activate a legal settlement while such a mutual agreement was effective is thus suspicious.

An amicable settlement would have been more adequate.

Structured group in  Sfax  committed  serious crime for profit  by the abuse of  public power for private gain  A.R.Ghorbel is appointed sole expert,A.R.Ghorbel was WİBOTEX S.A and S.S.C.SA. companies external auditor, sole ENFORCEMENT COMMİSİONER and  sole JUDİCİAL liquidator and sole ADMİNİSTRATOR for companies WİBOTEX.S.A / S.S.C.S.A.

I believe this unfortunate  illicite man made acting collectively caused economic disaster in which involved ;   Conspricay, fraud, theft, betreyal , and Cover-Up.  Which resulted destruction of an ECONOMİC MONUMENT in Sfax this imbecile  report dated  30.6.1999  which  was not simply a vulgar treason, almost all of them, juridiquely valueless. The frightful denial of justice, the emptiness of reports of  R.G. that innocent companies has been condemned to bankcruptcy on this out-dated reports is a prodigy of iniquity.

 I deny this report and empty   attachments  ; I deny it with all my might.  I know no greater civic crime against JUSTİCE .  A CRİME   so serious considering  existence of  reciprocal treaty aggreement between Turkey & Tunisia signed on 29.5.1991 even  to consider that we have been victim  of flawed  procedures.

We denounced R. G. & Hassan ABDULLAWİ and accomplices  as the real authors of the unprecedented economic crime what frightful despair grips the heart!  that R.G. manufactured the  above shown out-dated report  in which the court based on for the final  verdict.

A.R.Ghorbel  is appointed sole expert, Our companies external auditor,COMMİSSİONER ENFORCEMENT COMMİSİONER , JUDİCİAL  liquidation ADMİNİSTRATOR. He is all

Expert A.R. Ghorbel liquitated our companies and sold  all our assets including  hi-tech PAFF machine and manufactured and semi manufactured uniforms to the competition ( Tomtex S.A) , who resold it to French army at an inflated price.   I declare simply that A. Raouf Ghorbel  entrusted as a appointed accountant with the duty of preparing  the companies case is, in the order of dates  and  responsibilities, the first person guilty of the fearful judicial error that has been committed. It is a typical situation of conjunction of negative factors, which became worse as the legal entities interfered.  The logic (!) of these wrongdoings and juridique maneouvres at the cost of  future of Tunisia. 

Court of Sfax has lacked impartiality in the examination of the parties arguments.

The court has ignored the C.N.S.S. signed and stamped agreements and moratorium.

The court should have suspended all the ongoing suits instead of declaring bankruptcy.

So the court of Sfax has deprived of a fair judgement, as explained  the court reasoning it’s verdict on  ex-debt figures of     30.6.1999    which has no juridique value, as Yegin’s  companies  S.S.C.S.A. & Wibotex  S.A. contunied  for  production and  paid  all outstanding debts between  01. 07. 1999  & 15.02.2000. including employee salary. The instalment agreements signed with   C.N.S.S.  dated  20.12.1999 & 22.12. 1999 but the expert and court İGNORED duly signed & stamped instalment agreements.

Expert&court ignored payments of 1345000.000d.(one mio$)between 1.07.1999 – 4.05.2000. 

The expert & court  also ignored year end  blance of  2000 / 2001 and relative financel statements of Societe Tunisien Bank (STB) 1999  figures & S.T.B. year end releves.

The court did not consider  noter attestations of employee strikes,bloque of export and forcefull occcupation  of our factory on 15.02.2000.

Up-dated data and financial statements of our companies were not presented by the  appointed expert in all material respects in accordance with accepted accounting principles and requirements. Our assets has been mis represented by the sole  expert to the court although he had order by the court. He had the right  to access to our companies books and updated accounting documents. I repeat  court based decision of  insolvency on the sanal debts of  30.6.1999.   Which is juridiquely unacceptable the court insolvency decision based on out dated documents of  30.6.1999. Altough financial and production activities contuined until forceful illegal occupation of U.G.T.T.on 15.02.2000.

Also it is clear that neither the local authorities like the U.G.T.T.Govornarate , most negative  was the  Judiciary staff, Their behavior caused a direct disaster, which we couldn’t mend.The damages were tremendous. 420 Tunisian employees and foreign investor LOST  their job.

“ Legal Settlement ”  PROTECTS    the production companies. This is because of primary objective of judicial settlement is the SAVİNG of the business and employment.

Main articles  in the context of  the  legal  settlement were overlooked  and ignored.

The  misconduct of a judge, lawyer or accountant  during a trial  which  influences the final decison  may result  in the setting aside  of decison.    Our  appeal to  N.A.C.C.  on  2014  remained  unanswered until today.  These key documents contain part of the truth about a dark history of  breach of Justice by A.R.Ghorbel,H.Abdullawi and accomplices. But they have underestimated  the real  power  of  JUSTİCE  and forgot  the presence of the Tunisian public voice and the world beyond.   Let’s be united in supporting businesses that deliver on the promise of a sustainable for all and prosperous future. The evil is wholly known, so we must  have the means to fight it.We believe  the  information is  worth being brought  to  your  attention. Citizens.N.G.O.s  of Tunisia should do everything possible to protect foreign direct investment, our sad experience shows relationship between  development  and  POVERTY, and  importance of  JUSTİCE.

The human rights provision and international  treaties  obligates the host country  to “ Protect foreign investor, in the hope that those who come after us will find an insight  the wisdom and a workable moral out of these events which so far elude us who lived them fort the past 25 yrs. The attack on WİBOTEX S.A & S.S.C.S.A  was  an attack upon the entire legal system.

Our personal fate is of little importance  but  our  DİGNİTY  is very important. Wibotex S.A. and S.S.C S.A”s  insolvency has been long and arduous and lay a handful of central questions.

We  believe  unfortunate  dispute   in Sfax  holds the  opportunity  for creating improved processes and developing  İNNOVATİVE  amiable solution  procedures . This is the reason of my communication to you to find  AMİABLE SOLUTİON and to create  awarenes and restore YEGİN s  dignity and  PREVAİL JUSTİCE.  

Our aim is to enlighten those who have been kept in the dark, and find a solution to eradicate  poverty in the name of humanity which has suffered so much as all are entitled to happiness and decent life. Facts & documents are supported/exhibited in our web page.

Respectfully submitted.
