On Jan. 22, a court in Geneva found diamond and mining magnate Beny Steinmetz (pictured) guilty of corruption for allegedly bribing the wife of the former head in Guinea in exchange for mining rights.
BSGR, which stands for Beny Steinmetz Group Resources, had been accused of paying $8.5 million to Mamadie Touré, the fourth wife of Guinea’s then-president Lansana Conte, in exchange for the rights to the Simandou mine, one of the largest iron ore deposits in the world. The concession has previously been held by Rio Tinto.
The court fined Steinmetz 50 million Swiss francs and sentenced him to five years in prison.
