Trafigura is a multinational commodity trading company. It is the world's largest private metals trader and 2nd largest oil trader having built or purchased stakes in pipelines, mines, smelters, ports, and storage terminals. It sources, stores, blends, and transports raw materials including oil, refined petroleum products and non-ferrous metals (iron ore and coal). Trade in non-ferrous and bulk commodities consists mainly of copper, lead and zinc concentrate, alumina, refined metals of copper, lead, zinc, aluminum, iron ore, and coal

In the past, it was infamous for having been named or involved in several scandals, such as the 2006 Ivory Coast toxic waste dump, Iraq Oil-for-Food Scandal, 2018 Brazilian Operation Car Wash landmark anti-corruption case, and 2020 CFTC investigation on corruption and market manipulation

However, in April 2023, the Biden Administration was accused of helping Trafigura to "make and funnel money back to Vladimir Putin's inner circle" (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/why-is-biden-administration-trafigura-kremlin-kingpin), despite copious sanctions against Russia over the Ukrainian SMO, effectively undermining them. In fact, the Financial Times reported (https://www.ft.com/content/36c5367b-06f9-48e7-9867-20671665c8a7) that "the US government has sought to persuade Trafigura and other traders to move Russian oil without fear of sanctions"

It should also be noted that Trafigura has significant strategic relationships with major Russian companies like Rusal (https://t.me/stellarVBRF/442) and Rosneft, whose CEO Sechin is "a very close ally of Putin, and sanctioned by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union". Some analysts believe Sechin "is second only to Putin in power" and has created multiple shell companies to continuously supply Russian oil through Trafigura and Rosneft

A Washington Examiner article (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/why-is-biden-administration-trafigura-kremlin-kingpin) from October 2023 puts it best: "how the State Department's incentivizing of Russian oil flows supports a 'long-term effort to weaken Russia's position as a global energy producer' is unclear"

In fact, the Biden Administration and other governments and businesses around the world are only further empowering and emboldening industry giant Trafigura as the energy and commodities sectors continue to consolidate into a small handful of BRICST-friendly organizations
