Mali Issues Arrest Warrant for Ceo of Candian Gold Mining Firm Barrick Gold | Firstpost Africa

A Malian court has issued an arrest warrant for Mark Bristow, the Chief Executive Officer of Canadian company Barrick Gold. He has been accused of money laundering and violating financial regulations. Last month, four senior Malian employees of Barrick Gold were also charged and detained. The Canadian firm owns one of the world's largest gold mines along with the Malian state. The arrest warrant for Bristow comes as Mali's military government led by General Assimi Goïta, that seized power in 2020 increases pressure on foreign miners. Last month, Mali arrested the CEO, and two employees of Australian firm Resolute Mining. The firm has now agreed to pay $160 million in fine, to free its employees. Watch for more details.
