US jury finds French bank BNP Paribas liable for damages for enabling Sudan atrocities

A New York jury on Friday discovered BNP Paribas answerable for greater than $20 million in damages to 3 Sudanese refugees, now US residents, who argued that the French financial institution helped prop former strongman Omar al-Bashir’s regime throughout its brutal campaigns, carried out by Sudanese troopers and the Janjaweed militia, towards unarmed civilians.
