Nueve ecuatorianos demandan a Texaco

El culebrón judicial entre Chevron Texaco y algunos miembros de los demandantes continúa. Este día, nueve residentes de la Amazonia entablan una demanda federal a la petrolera, esta vez en San Francisco, California, Estados Unidos. Acusan a Chevron-Texaco de haberles provocado serios daños en la salud. Cristóbal Bonifaz, el abogado que representa a los afectados, dijo que de los nueve demandantes, cuatro padecen cáncer...ésta es una demanda cuasi criminal en nombre de los 30 000 residentes que, según él, han sido afectados en su salud por la extracción petrolera que durante 20 años realizó la Texaco en el Ecuador.
