Juez desestima denuncia de sindicato colombiano contra Coca Cola

Un juez federal ha desestimado denuncias según las cuales los gerentes de embotelladoras de Coca-Cola en Colombia, en complicidad con grupos paramilitares locales, eliminaron la actividad sindical en las plantas por medio de asesinatos, torturas, amenazas e intimidación. El juez José Martínez falló que carecía de jurisdicción en el caso porque las denuncias eran excesivamente "vagas"...Coca-Cola...se declaró "complacida" por el fallo y dijo que la denuncia se basaba en "versiones distorsionadas de los sucesos"...Tras señalar que carecía de jurisdicción en el caso, Martínez dijo que las denuncias suscitaban "cuestiones de derecho de difícil solución"...[y que] [s]e hace "cada vez más urgente" que la 11ma Cámara de Apelaciones federal, que incluye el estado de Florida, clarifique los elementos en disputa, dijo Martínez.
