no es una noticia que nueva. es una vieja tradicion que hace parte de
la tipica explotacion del "tercer mundo". pero bueno ahora se publica
en primera plana en la prensa de los monopolios y aunque no sea esta
lista de correos la de http://colombia.indymedia.org creo que vale la
pena poner a circular por la red este contenido y volver a pensar un
poquito como sera posible no apoyar a estas o a ninguna
multinacional... y si, asi suene tonto, no comprarles es la mejor
manera de no apoyar a criminales.
de que hablo?
de la masacre de las bananeras que no ha parado pero si se
transforma, solo esa empresa, CHIQUITA (Chiquita Brands
International) pago 30millones en la ultima decada a ejercitos
paramilitares, con esto desplazaron y mataron miles de campesinos y
tambien desaparecieron sindicalistas (como el caso de cocacola).
30millones de dolares segun las noticias que se reparten en armas y
corrupcion en la region de uraba y solo por una empresa.
creer que esto NO nos ha afectado la vida es creer que comprarles hoy
NO seria como apoyar a que esto continue....
"enjoy cocacola!"

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, D.C.
Litigation Release No. 17169 / October 3, 2001
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 1464
SEC v. Chiquita Brands International, Inc., Civ. Action No. 1 01CV02079
(D.D.C.)(filed October 3, 2001)
Sec Settles Case against Chiquita Brands International, Inc.
The Securities and Exchange Commission today issued a settled cease-
and-desist order against Chiquita Brands International, Inc. in which
the Commission finds that Chiquita violated the books and records --
Section 13(b)(2)(A) -- and internal accounting controls -- Section 13
(b)(2)(B) -- provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in
connection with a payment to foreign customs officials by a wholly-
owned foreign subsidiary of Chiquita. Without admitting or denying
the Commission's findings, Chiquita consented to the entry of an
order that requires Chiquita to cease and desist from violating those
provisions. The Commission also filed a settled complaint in federal
court seeking entry of a consent order requiring Chiquita to pay a
$100,000 civil penalty. Chiquita settled the action without admitting
or denying the Commission's allegations.
The order finds that Chiquita violated the books and records and
internal controls provisions as a result of the conduct of its
Colombian subsidiary, Banadex. According to the order, without the
knowledge or consent of any Chiquita employees outside Colombia and
in contravention of Chiquita's policies, employees of Banadex
authorized the payment of the equivalent of $30,000 to local customs
officials to secure renewal of a license at Banadex's Turbo, Colombia
port facility. The subsidiary's books and records incorrectly
identified the two installment payments, which were made in 1996 and
1997. In 1997, Chiquita's internal audit staff discovered the payment
during an audit review and, after an internal investigation, Chiquita
took corrective action which included terminating the responsible
Banadex employees and reinforcing internal controls at Banadex.
