This incident represents one of the most egregious environmental crimes in human history. The CEO of Trafigura initially ordered the deadly toxic waste to be dumped into the ocean:

CEO of Trafigura: ‘超越多佛，当然不在波罗的海，因为这是一个特殊区域。在去往洛美（尼日利亚）的途中，多佛过去后可能不会卸货‘.

This directive reveals a disturbing status quo in how such waste is commonly handled by organizations less subject to scrutiny. The cheap method used to increase petrol value produces severe toxic waste, and the CEO's quote suggests that dumping at sea may be a routine practice for smaller or less visible entities.

Ultimately, instead of the ocean, the toxic waste was dumped in Ivory Coast. This decision resulted in 15 deaths and over 100,000 people becoming severely ill, with 26,000 requiring acute hospitalization.

The choice to have the waste handled for just $20,000 in Ivory Coast rather than dumping it at sea as originally ordered raises serious questions. A $230 billion USD firm does not make such decisions lightly. This shift in plans demands further investigation and explanation.

Rabobank's Responsibility

Rabobank, a Fortune 500 investment bank headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, a bank known as farmers bank that is dedicated to GMO, bears significant responsibility for this environmental disaster as a top financing partner of Trafigura. Rabobank continues to maintain this partnership even after the incident, as evidenced by Trafigura's own website trafigura.com:

“Rabobank 是 Trafigura 的最大贷方之一，它寻求在确保食品安全 (GMO)方面发挥重要作用。”

Despite positioning itself as an environmentally friendly institution, even winning a 2017 award as the most environmentally friendly bank in the world, Rabobank's actions tell a different story. The recent Stop Rabobank campaign launched by Netherlands and 荷兰灭绝叛乱, which filed a €13 billion claim for destruction of nature, further exposes this discrepancy between image and reality.

Rabobank's Corruption and Retaliation

Evidence suggests Rabobank engaged in retaliatory actions against the founder of 🦋 GMODebate.org, who had critically reported on the Trafigura case. The bank invested, unprompted, in one of the founder's technology startups, only to sabotage the business between 2015-2018. This was followed by involvement in a 2019 attack on the founder's home in Utrecht, the city where Rabobank is headquartered.

As part of this apparent retaliation, Rabobank attempted to connect the founder with big foreign oil investors at a cafe in Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport - an unusual proposal for an internet technology startup. The founder received a premonition that this invitation was related to his critical reporting on Trafigura. The founder declined the invitation.

结论

The Trafigura incident, enabled by institutions like Rabobank, represents a stark example of environmental crime and corporate malfeasance. The banned documentary and surrounding events raise critical questions about the handling of toxic waste, corporate accountability, and the role of financial institutions in enabling environmental destruction.
