Global Giants Apple and Microsoft Are Accused of Buying Illegal Gold from the Amazon. Google and Amazon Are Also Involved in the Transaction.

The investigation by Repórter Brasil points out that stolen gold from the Amazon has been used for the production of technological devices from Apple and Microsoft, as well as for super servers from Google and Amazon.

According to the information, companies Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon are part of the RMI – Responsible Minerals Initiative – association that audits the refiner Marsam. The Marsam refiner is the main buyer of gold from FD’ Gold and is currently accredited for trading, even while acquiring gold under investigation for illegal activity.

However, FD’Gold is an independent Securities Distributor and is also a defendant in court in a case seeking to halt its activities in Pará, due to an accusation made by the MPF (Federal Public Ministry) for buying gold extracted from indigenous lands.

Illegal Purchases of Amazon Gold Took Place in 2020 and 2021

The portal reveals that, according to documents obtained, purchases took place in 2020 and 2021 through the Italian company Chimet, which has also been investigated for being the “destination point” of the entire movement.

Although there are projects, led by President Jair Bolsonaro, for the legalization of mineral extraction on indigenous lands, the action is still not authorized.

This type of extraction is considered one of the greatest threats to the Amazon region. Experts emphasize that the action cannot be treated as “artisanal method,” as some wish to impose through legislation.

Apple Says It Has Ended Any Work with Marsam

Both companies are required to submit to the SEC, the U.S. agency equivalent to the Securities and Exchange Commission, a list of their suppliers regarding all metals used in their productions, at the time interactions between the companies were found.

Two months later, the investigated companies have still not commented on the matter. Among the four, only Apple claims to have ended any work with Marsam.

Recapping

It all starts in Kayapó, according to the Federal Police, where the company CHM buys most of the illegal gold. Soon after, the contact reaches Chimet, which has already had a total of R$ 2.1 billion transferred to the initial company as payment. From Italy, the metals are transferred to the United States and reach the major U.S. companies mentioned above.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

It looks like Australia, but it’s Pará: the Amazonian city that became one of Brazil’s largest copper hubs and entered the global route of critical minerals for the energy transition.

While the USA goes to the Moon in search of energy, China silently explores an abundant stone on Earth capable of generating energy for the next 60,000 years.

An excavation the size of an entire city has opened a hole of 44 km² in Germany, descending nearly 300 meters below sea level and creating an “artificial scar” so colossal that it can be seen from space while continuing to advance over everything around it.

The technique that few know in mining freezes the soil for months to create an underground wall of ice capable of blocking invisible rivers, preventing landslides, and allowing excavations in areas that would collapse instantly.
