DIAMONDS
Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) CEO Ari Epstein resigned unexpectedly on Thursday, the AWDC's board of directors said in a statement.
A spokesperson for AWDC, Belgium's main diamond industry group, said on Friday that Epstein, who had been CEO for 13 years, did not wish to communicate about the reason for his sudden departure, but Belgian financial newspaper De Tijd reported that Russian diamond sanctions had been the cause of conflict between the diamond sector and the Belgian government.
