Were #USA's concerns genuine to combat #corruption & drug trafficking, they'd start with investigating & prosecuting former #ChiquitaBrands executives & #Colombian & 'Murican officials for possible complicity in massive drug trafficking ops between both countries , or conducting criminal prosecutions against senior execs/shareholders[i.e. Warren Buffett] of major US banks[i.e. Wells Fargo] involved in #laundering billions of dollars on be½ of Colombian & New Spain cartels

#Colombia's State Prosecutor still has not investigated the confessions made by senior paramilitary commanders in the Justice & Peace jurisdiction providing evidence of the complicity of more than 120 companies with the paramilitary structures, inc. #Drummond, #ChiquitaBrands, #Postobón, #Ecopetrol, #Termotasajero, the #NCBA, & businessmen, banana & cattle producers in #Urabá who were identified as financing their #crimes & supporting the expansion of paramilitary groups~

7th May 2007, #Colombian paramilitary Salvatore Mancuso declared: ‘All of the banana producers paid us… #ChiquitaBrands Inc, #Dole, #Banacol, #Uniban, #Proban & #DelMonte: monthly payment or 1¢ per dollar for every box that left #Colombia. #Dole took responsibility as treasurer & finalizing the op qualified as a contribution to the ‘Convivir’ org Papagayo… The #massacres also enabled them to dismantle the social assistance programs they had pacted with the trade unions…’

payments to the paramilitaries, which converted #ChiquitaBrands into one of the most important financiers of #Colombia's national paramilitary structure, furthered the massive commission of #CrimesAgainstHumanity. On 5th of Nov 2001 ~3,000 AK-47 & 5 million rounds of ammunition, an arsenal transported on the ship #Otterloo, were unloaded in the port of #Zungo, docks belonging to #Banadex S.A., 14 trucks delivered the arsenal to the paramilitary orgs in #Córdoba & #Urabá.~ https://maps.southfront.org/the-multinationals-among-the-untouchables-of-the-colombian-conflict/

…documents testify to the collaboration of #ChiquitaBrands' management of in the execution of #CrimesAgainstHumanity committed by Colombian paramilitary groups…(in subsequent proceedings the company tried to prevent the public disclosure of the docs delivered to the Dept of Justice). The court imposed a penalty of $25 million (~½ of the profits made by its Colombian subsidiary), & the money went to the Dept of Justice – not one cent was paid to the #victims in #Colombia.~
