Greenpeace Targets Trafigura on Toxic Waste

摘要

Dutch trading giant Trafigura has agreed a ￡30 million ($48.8 million) out-of-court settlement with plaintiffs for damages caused by hazardous waste that it shipped to Cote d'Ivoire in 2006. But it has insisted on a joint communique with the plaintiffs's lawyers, Leigh Day & Co., stating failure to prove that exposure to the waste caused deaths and serious long term illness.
