Corporations on Trial : Chiquita - Between Life and Law (episode 4/5)
Following a ruling by a US federal court that fined the organisation $25million for funding a terrorist organisation, banana giant Chiquita is now facing a number of new lawsuits.
After being found guilty of illicit payments to the Colombian paramilitary groups an array of plaintiffs now want compensation for who they say are the victims of the company’s actions and are demanding that Chiquita’s directors are extradited from the US to stand trial in Colombia.
As former paramilitaries begin to speak out, the truth emerges about a dark chapter of American corporate history, where big business took sides in a civil war and profits mattered more than lives.
Chiquita - Between Life and Law can be seen on Al Jazeera from Wednesday June 10.
