An investigation has uncovered claims that apparent representatives of the company made multiple approaches to witnesses of a December 2023 confrontation between Del Monte guards and pineapple thieves that led to the deaths of four men. Three people approached allege that Del Monte staff offered money and jobs in exchange for signing statements that supported the company’s version of events.

Those are not “thieves”. The real thieves are these AngloAmericans who stole hundreds of thousands of prime land then forced natives to work there (state forced taxation that could only be paid in cash which could only be got from these settler farms). Fuxked up system.
