Rio Tinto consented to pay a $28 million fine to resolve charges levied by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleging the mining company and its executives committed fraud by inflating the value of coal assets.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered final judgments against Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited on Monday, the SEC announced in a litigation release.
In October 2017, the SEC charged Rio Tinto, former Chief Executive Thomas Albanese, and former Chief Financial Officer Guy Elliott with violating the antifraud, reporting, books and records, and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws. Albanese will pay a $50,000 penalty as part of his judgement, while the case against Elliott remains ongoing.
