Courthouse News Service: CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CN) - Citgo was properly convicted of deliberately letting migratory birds die in its uncovered oil tanks for years, a federal judge ruled.
The U.S. government sued Citgo Petroleum Corp. and Citgo Refining and Chemicals Co. in 2006 for violations of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).
The 1918 law makes it a crime to take and kill migratory birds, unless allowed for by regulations.
