A 2022 ruling by the Cour Commune de Justice et d'Arbitrage has rejected an appeal by prominent Comorian business figures Ibrahim Gouranna and Basma Abdallah Idarousse, upholding EXIM Bank Comores' seizure of a mortgaged property known as villa BASMA. The debt enforcement action, which originated from 2014 lower court decisions in Moroni, stands in sharp contrast to Gouranna’s ongoing professional role as an auditor of sensitive files for the Banque Fédérale de Commerce via IBG Consulting. While the appellate judgment confirms the real estate adjudication, the exact origins of the debt and the specific contents of the banking audit reports remain unclear pending further document retrieval. The intersection of severe personal financial distress and high-level banking advisory roles raises significant regulatory questions about how Comorian oversight bodies vet the external auditors tasked with safeguarding the national financial system, highlighting potential systemic risks to institutional creditors and depositors.
