Indonesia to settle Newmont pollution case
Indonesia will press ahead with plans to charge six executives from U.S-mining giant Newmont over alleged pollution, but is willing to negotiate an out-of-court settlement in its US$133.6 million (euro105.9 million) lawsuit stemming from the case, the economics minister said Monday... Robert Gallagher, the vice president of the company's Indonesian operations, said he has heard nothing about an out-of-court settlement and denied any wrongdoing. "We didn't pollute," he said.
