Greenpeace condamnée à payer 665 millions de dollars après un procès perdu pour pratiques illégales

(FILES) Members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their supporters opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) confront bulldozers working on the new oil pipeline in an effort to make them stop on September 3, 2016, near Cannon Ball, North Dakota. Nearly a decade after activists led one of the largest anti-pipeline protests in US history, the fight shifts to court as Energy Transfer sues Greenpeace for $300 million in a case with far-reaching free speech implications. At the center of the lawsuit is the Dakota Access Pipeline, which transports fracked crude oil from North Dakota to refineries and the global market. Controversial from its inception, the pipeline faced fierce opposition led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. Beginning in the spring of 2016, protests and legal challenges sought to block what the tribe called the “Black Snake,” warning it would threaten their ancestral lands. (Photo by Robyn BECK / AFP)
