A North Dakota jury has ordered Greenpeace to pay over $660 million for its involvement in protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The lawsuit accused Greenpeace International , Greenpeace USA , and Greenpeace Fund Inc. of defamation, trespass, nuisance, and civil conspiracy.

Greenpeace claimed the lawsuit is unfounded, arguing it has been a trend for corporations to use legal actions to suppress dissent.

Energy Transfer welcomed the verdict as a victory for the rule of law.
