To prepare for the new/incoming Director, the Serious Fraud Office has halted a number of investigations which (after in one case ten years) they do not think they could successfully prosecute.

But while they have stepped away from an investigation of #RioTinto for 'suspected corruption' in Guinea as an Australian investigation continues, other cases will just fall by the wayside leading one to wonder whether clever lawyering & lack of SFO resources, means #corporations can act with impunity

Es ist schon triste, dass der Uropa von @gruenehessen und @GrueneBundestag, der einst an #Ökosteuer und #Atomausstieg mitwirkte und 5 Mark Benzinpreis wollte, heute als #Lobbyist die Interessen von #Audi, dem Kohlekonzern #RioTinto und Atomriese #Eon verteidigt. :saddercat:

In Ireland I shall get to touch irreplaceable neolithic structures that haven't been blown up by multinational mining companies. #JuukanGorge #riotinto #arseholes

@insl ja, das ist richtig.
#Alusuisse ➡️ 2000 Fusion mit dem kanadischen Unternehmen #Alcan ➡️ 2007 Übernahme durch #RioTintoAlcan, Tochtergesellschaft der kanadischen #RioTinto Group.

Kontaminiertes Trinkwasser, tote Fische, Gesundheitsschäden -- doch Bergbau-Riese #RioTinto überlässt Anwohner*innen seiner Mine seinem schrecklichen Schicksal.

Just got the bus home. The guy in front of me got his laptop out. Odd for this route. Long story short, he's an Accenture contractor working in Rio Tinto and really didn't seem to mind me seeing spreadsheets with details of much of their networking equipment, PuTTY sessions, usernames, emails, project names etc. Might dob him in #InfoSec #Accenture #RioTinto

Today in labor history April 30, 1871: A mob massacred more than 100 Apaches at Camp Grant, Arizona. The mob included 48 Mexican Americans and 92 Tohono O’odham. Most of the Apaches that were killed were women and children. The Apaches had already surrendered and placed themselves under U.S. protection when the attack occurred. As a result, the Apache, and their Yavapai allies, launched a series of attacks against the U.S. Their attacks continued into 1875. Descendants of those massacred are currently fighting against Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, to block mining on the massacre site—the third largest copper deposit in the world. John McCain and Jeff Flake authored the legislation that opened the site to mining. Seventh-day Adventists, the Islam and Religious Freedom Action Team of the Religious Freedom Institute, Mormans, the Christian Legal Society, Jewish Coalition for Religious Liberty, and the Sikh Coalition, have joined together to support the Apache and filed legal briefs for them. Rio Tinto is responsible for some of the worst environmental devastation on the planet, union busting, and for the mass murder of indigenous environmental and labor activists around the world. They also have a history of collaborating with fascists, including Franco, in Spain.

« Au cours des dernières années, des entreprises comme Rio Tinto, ArcelorMittal et plusieurs autres ont accumulé les infractions au droit de l’environnement, mais ont tout de même pu obtenir des dizaines d’autorisations du ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) pour divers projets. »
