Victims of Colombia's conflict have filed for damages against Chiquita Brands after the U.S. fruit company pleaded guilty to paying off a violent paramilitary group and agreeing to a $25 million fine. The company paid bribes to extremely violent groups like AUC and FARC. In the Middle East this is called “terrorism”. In Colombia it’s business.
