2000 Community complaint to Environmental Prosecutor
In 2000, the Siria Valley Environmental Committee (CAVS) filed a complaint with the Environmental Prosecutor, accusing Glamis Gold Ltd. (then owner of the San Martín mine) of environmental crimes. The Prosecutor conducted a 10-month investigation and sought arrest warrants for three officials of Minerales Entre Mares de Honduras, S.A., a Glamis Gold wholly owned subsidiary. The warrants were not granted. See the Legal Action, entitled “2007-2010 Community Complaint to Environmental Prosecutor Leads to Prosecution of Company Officials” for information relating to a similar complaint launched in 2008.
