Ivory Coast - United Kingdom - Netherlands
This week the controversial oil trading company Trafigura found itself in the limelight once again, following a revelation by the British press showing evidence that its involvement in a 2006 toxic waste disposal in Abidjan poisoned over 100 000 Ivorians. The company, which is still refusing to admit any wrongdoing, Wednesday agreed to a financial settlement in order to avoid a trial in London. But another trial, brought by Greenpeace, is already underway in Amsterdam. Again this week, Ivorian contractor Solomon Ugburogbu, who aided this treacherous act, was sentenced to a 20 year prison sentence.
