Trafigura: "the biggest toxic dumping scandal of the 21st century"

Through their attempts to gag the reporting of parliament, Trafigura (turnover $73bn) have given a new lease of lease of life to the following story (click for video):

“A smaller company might by now be drowning in scandal” – Newsnight

Panorama report on Trafigura

To top things off the document they may have been attempting to suppress – the report on waste dumping by Minton, Treharne and Daviesis now on Wikileaks and #Trafigura is now trending on Twitter.

Would love to be a fly on the wall when whoever developed this PR/legal strategy is explaining why it backfired so completely.
