The case of Trafigura and toxic waste in the Ivory Coast took a number of turns like released emails, libel cases against Newsnight and newspapers over reports and a question in Parliament.

Today the company was fined one million euros (£840,000) for leaving toxic waste in the Ivory coast which injured a number of people in 2006. The prosecution also accused the company of "hiding the cargo's dangerous nature when it was unloaded from a ship in Amsterdam."-Independent
