Chiquita Concedes Colombia Protection Payments
Morning Edition, March 15, 2007 ยท Chiquita Brands International will plead guilty to doing business with gunmen in Colombia. Prosecutors said the banana company made $1.7 million in "protection payments" to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a right-wing paramilitary group linked to some of Colombia's worst massacres. The company will pay $25 million to settle the charges.

Hi DK. That thing is stupid. It doesn't look like a banana at all! This is what a banana phone really looks like and I already have one. How do you think I prank call everyone?
