Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25139, member: 2262"] Gold Company Takes TV and Newspaper to Court. A big gold company in Uganda called Euro Gold Refinery wants TV and newspaper people to say sorry. They are angry because some news stories said bad things about them. The company thinks these stories hurt their business and made people stop trusting them. The company sent its lawyers to court to fix this problem. They want the TV station NTV Uganda and the newspaper Monitor to remove the stories they shared. They also want money because many people stopped doing business with them after seeing these news reports. The news stories talked about a man from Germany who lost a lot of money in a gold deal. The TV and newspaper said Euro Gold Refinery helped trick this man. But the gold company says this is not true at all. They say they follow all the rules and help make Uganda's gold business better. Ben Feni, who runs the company, feels very sad about what happened. He says many people who used to work with them went away after seeing these stories. Even their bank closed their accounts because they were worried. Sam Anecho, another employee of the gold company, says the TV and newspaper reporters never asked them what they thought before telling these stories. He thinks this is very unfair. The stories keep spreading on the internet, which makes things even worse for the company. The company's lawyer, Emmanuel Candia, says this case might help other companies protect themselves when people say wrong things about them. The TV station and newspaper must tell the court their side of the story in 15 days. If the gold company wins, they might receive more than one million dollars to make up for all their troubles.
