The Chiquita fruit company has been charged for its links to one of Colombia’s most notorious death squads. The U.S. court case found Chiquita liable for killings carried out by a Colombian paramilitary group, marking a rare and groundbreaking instance of a company being held accountable in a U.S. court for human rights violations abroad. The ruling is part of a larger fight for justice for the victims who have endured decades of brutality and exploitation. The historic trials and verdict bear a significant South Florida imprint.
