Court Seizes Nearly €10M from Swiss Corp in Mercury Trading Case
The Regional Court of Essen has ordered the seizure of nearly 10 million euros from a Swiss stock corporation. The move is part of ongoing efforts to combat illegal mercury trading that occurred between 2011 and 2013.
The court's decision aims to deprive the perpetrators of their ill-gotten gains. During the specified period, approximately 1,000 tons of mercury were sold on the world market instead of being properly disposed of. This illegal activity generated millions in profits for those involved.
The exact name of the Swiss corporation is not publicly disclosed. However, the court has ordered the seizure of 9,815,426.92 euros from this entity. It's important to note that this decision is not yet final.
The seizure of these funds is a significant step in addressing the illegal mercury trade that took place between 2011 and 2013. The court's action sends a clear message that such activities will not be tolerated, and those involved will face consequences.
