Fine coal affair: No gold bars in the incriminated canteens
The fine coal case between the Burkinabè State and the company IAMGOLD Essakane SA resumed its course this Monday, October 9, 2023, at the Ouaga 1 High Court. For this day, the debates mainly focused on the two canteens. They were opened and their content was presented to all parties. Unlike the long-awaited “gold bars”, blocks of compacted earth were found there. After the observations of the various parties on these substances, the civil party made a request to the court relating to precautionary measures for seizure of the property of IAMGOLD Essakane SA and Bolloré Transport and Logistics.
