Greenpeace has been ordered to pay $345 million in damages to the operator of an oil pipeline following a long-standing legal battle.
Greenpeace, the environmental organization, has been hit with a monumental judgment requiring them to pay $345 million, equivalent to over 3.1 billion Swedish Krona, to the operator of a pipeline, Energy Transfer. This legal dispute, which has stretched over several years, stems from accusations leveled against Greenpeace by the company, including claims of violence and defamation related to protests against the construction of the pipeline nearly a decade ago. The ruling comes as a significant setback for the organization, which has been at the forefront of environmental activism.
