In court
Mining firm Acquitted: On April 24, 2007, Newmont Mining Corporation, the world's biggest gold producer, and one of its executives were acquitted of charges related to dumping unsafe levels of toxic waste into a bay off Indonesia's Sulawesi Island. The judge said documents presented during the trial could not prove that the waste exceeded government standards. The decision has received flak from environmental groups, who demanded changes in Indonesia's obsolete mining laws.
