Did you read the allegations? These are people accused of stealing money from the tunisian population. For me it falls under oppression of citizens. Even if you don't agree, they are criminals. Not war crime prosecutors, whose crime is investigating war crimes.

So what if the guy also works as a press photographer? Does that give him immunity from being a criminal?

Sure, you can redefine everything as it suits you. "Stealing money fron the Tunisian population" is similar to tax fraud. You turn it into a war crime or being dictators.

Lacking recognition of legitimacy, a court is just a kidnapping gang.
