Chiquita had paramilitaries on the dole.

Chiquita claims it was paying protection money, not employing the paramilitaries.

A judge in the United States has dismissed an attempt by banana producer Chiquita to halt multi-million-dollar compensation cases being brought by at least 4,000 Colombians.

They allege they or their relatives were tortured or killed in banana-growing areas by paramilitaries paid by the company.

Chiquita, which is based in the US, has admitted paying paramilitaries.

All seriousness aside, ample evidence demonstrates that, with many corporations, when you have revenue on the one hand, there is no other hand.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
