Greenpeace gatecrashes Credit Suisse shareholder meeting

See all tags

Activists from environment group Greenpeace gatecrashed Credit Suisse's annual shareholder meeting on Friday to protest against the Swiss bank's dealings with companies behind the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)... Credit Suisse, Switzerland's second-biggest bank, said in April it was not involved in project financing for the DAPL... The 1,172-mile (1,885-km) Dakota Access line running from North Dakota to Illinois drew international attention in 2016 after the Standing Rock Native American tribe sued to block completion of the final link, saying it would desecrate a sacred burial ground... Environmentalists also argued that potential leaks along its length would risk poisoning the water supply for some 17 million Americans.
