Mining Company and CEO seek urgent intervention to mitigate negative press amid corruption investigation
A French mining company operating in an West African country is seeking our prompt intervention to reduce the visibility of nefarious articles in both African and French press mentioning an ongoing investigation by the national financial prosecutor’s office into suspicions of corruption and tax fraud involving the company’s CEO. These articles have been widely picked up and commented on various blogs and forums.
What we’ve done
Thorough investigation to ascertain the identity of pseudonymous authors.
Initiating confidential negotiations with the authors to secure the removal or anonymization of the weaponized information
Achieving successful negotiations with news editors, resulting in the removal of numerous articles implying fraud allegations in both African and financial press.
Dissolution of a blog specifically created to disseminate purportedly illicit activities attributed to the CEO.
Enacting a counter-action plan to expunge all articles referring to alleged non-compliance with environmental regulations and local labor codes.
