@rms So which senior decision makers are going to prison and for how long? A company isn't a person. It doesn't have agency. It didn't make this decision. Some individual human beings did.

@rms Chiquita Is in fact none other than the US company United Fruit, notorious in the region already.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChiquitaThe overthrow of the Arbenz reformist government of Guatemala in the 1950s at least helped radicalise Ernesto Guevara (El Che) and many more.The massacre of its workers in 1920s Colombia was one of the incidents narrated by Gabriel García Márquez in "100 years of Solitude". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Banana_Massacre&diffonly=true
