guys, this part has be bugged...why the clarification that it's not "kry ven" who screwed over the miners but "kry inter".? this is coming from the guy who's sitting in jail...does he like "kry ven"?
The case Crystallex International CA
Clarifies that it is not the Venezuelan subsidiary of Crystallex Venezuela. Crystallex International CA received a contract from the state where it undertook to provide benefits to the mining towns of southern Bolivar, which he failed to do, according to Chancellor referred, rather, sought to evict them by placing Alcabalas to prevent the passage in their work sites, what caused the explosion popular "spontaneous", which was neither organized nor sponsored by him. In the end, the deputy minister of mines in the CVG Orlando Ortegano signed an agreement which removed the obstacles to the miners.
Chancellor complaint that an injustice committed by the transnational, for 5 years, forcing the miners to cross dangerous mountain, while managers did so in luxury vehicles on a road, put up for this purpose.
Chancellor said that the CVG signed a contract in good faith, thinking that the trans was going to meet terms to generate 50 jobs in 2002, assuming the cost of maintaining 22 workers, assistance with technical projects for small miners, assuming a cost center Rural type outpatient medical 1, in Las Claritas, training of personnel with equipment and machinery, mining, development of community social programs, implementation of the road and the construction of 30 homes in the urbanization of Santo Domingo, San Isidro parish, the only thing we have, and a potable water plant, which is not fit for human consumption. And the key clause regarding the special benefits, which were broken, saying the decrease environmental impact, to prevent access by small miners "certain areas" protected by the company. So it asked the state to withdraw the grant of 25 thousand tons of gold, the richest of Venezuela in terms of proven gold reserves, the second largest in the world and the sixth in Latin America.
