Acacia, Tanzania dispute intensifies over employee detention

Barrick Gold’s majority-owned African business segment Acacia Mining has reported that a senior international employee of its subsidiary Pangea Minerals has been detained by Tanzania authorities.
The official was prevented from leaving Tanzania on Friday morning and had his passport confiscated at the Dar-es-Salaam airport for a while, before legal intervention resulted in the official’s release and the return of his passport.
