Several new developments in charges against Monsanto. In one case, the company pleaded guilty to 30 environmental crimes.
The Justice Department said that the company stored a banned pesticide and used it on cornfields in Hawaii. Monsanto will pay a $12 million dollar fine, and continue an environmental compliance program for the three years it is on probation.
In a separate case, the Supreme Court asked the DOJ to weigh in on a Roundup dispute. Monsanto is appealing a $25 million dollar ruling that found them liable for a man’s Non-Hodkin’s lymphoma.
