A fleeting vessel has mocked
all States across the globe. She slipped along due to the weakness of
certain and the collusion of others, manipulated by a tribe who recycle
dregs of petrol stocks into gold. This eternal fugitive spread panic
and death by unloading 500 tonnes of waste in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
The true story of the Probo Koala reads like a social column, a thriller and is an edifying example of the madness of globalisation. In the centre of the spider web, Trafigura, the latest avatar from a dynasty of petrol, metal and mineral traders leads its ghost ships with much creativity and a strong rush of adrenaline. This book draws on the experiences of its authors at the heart of the Ivorian furnace, on numerous years of investigation, testimonies, confessions and documents. Today’s day and age, served with a spoon, silver of course. |
