Cote d'Ivoire: Trafigura fined €1 million for toxic waste

Frans Bauduin, presiding judge, said in the Amsterdam district court that the Swiss-based company was guilty of breaking European waste export laws. It was also found guilty of concealing what the charge sheet referred to as the "harmful nature" of the waste on board the Probo Koala ship that arrived at the port of Amsterdam in July 2006, but was redirected to the Ivory Coast.
