The production company ALP, behind the programs "Koh Lanta" and "Fort Boyard", threatens to sue Arthur.

The concept of her show "Disctrict Z" is indeed considered too modeled on her programs according to her.

Similarities between competing shows that viewers had not failed to point out.

and

Charge of "format violation"

In detail, ALP sent Arthur's company a formal notice detailing what the

Fort Boyard

production company 

considers "format violations", in other words, program concept plagiarism.

ALP would be ready to go to court if no agreement is reached quickly with Satisfaction, the company of Artur.

However, we can imagine that Arthur does not really want to go to justice because he has just lost a lawsuit where he claimed the modest sum of 14 million euros from the Benetton family.

The host and producer felt he had been misguided in his placement ten years ago in a company that manufactured coffee pods.

We learn on this occasion that Arthur has widely diversified his activities since his debut on television.
