EU acts on diamonds [Zimbabwe]

The European Union (EU), which chairs the Kimberley Process of certifying legitimate diamonds, has summoned executives from River Ranch Limited to a meeting in Harare today to respond to allegations of diamond smuggling... River Ranch Limited has denied claims made by WDC [World Diamond Council] chairman, Eli Izhakoff, that diamonds from River Ranch [joint venture Kupukile Resources & Rani International (part of Aujan Group)] and from the Marange area of Manicaland were being smuggled into South Africa, where they were possibly being combined with blood diamonds from the DRC for export as legitimate stones.
