As expected...when BIG money is involved...crass ugliness is sure to continue.
So it has...in the nasty pollution suit brought against Chevron by indigena people.
The suit has dragged-on for decades in Ecuador...and now NYC.
A former Ecuadorian judge testified that a $500,000 bribe was paid to the Lago Agrio judge who ruled in favor of some indigena tribes in 2009...with a $18.2 billion judgement.
Former judge Alberto Guerra told about the bribe to a NYC court.
Plaintiffs' lawyers called Guerra 'a disgraced former Ecuadorian judge being paid hundreds of thousands by Chevron to make false allegations...about the judgement.'
Chevron is paying Guerra $10,000 per month...plus $2,000 monthly for housing.
