Within the Probo Koala investigation the Dutch Public Prosecutor’s Office for Financial, Economic and Environmental Offences and the Procurator’s General Offices have reached a comprehensive settlement with Trafigura Beheer BV (hereinafter: ‘Trafigura’), its president-director, and with an employee of the company. The public prosecution service (‘OM’) considers the settlement a fitting ending to a series of prolonged proceedings. Continuing the proceedings might take many more years. The cases will be concluded in a way that makes clear that violation of international regulations for hazardous waste will not be tolerated.
