Brazil container row man ordered to pay £730,000
The owner of a Swindon-based company which sent "toxic" waste to Brazil has been ordered to pay a shipping firm more than £730,000 in compensation.

Containers sent by Worldwide Biorecyclables were rejected by the South American country's government.

Shipping firm MSC was fined for transporting the rubbish but has won a High Court order to get the money from Worldwide Biorecyclables' former owner.

Julio da Costa, 49, has said he intends to appeal against the ruling.
