Two days later, on May 3, 1998, "The Enquirer" published an 18-page, 21-story special section, titled "Chiquita Secrets Revealed", that accused the fruit company of mistreating the workers on its Central American plantations, polluting the environment, allowing cocaine to be brought to America on its ships, bribing foreign officials, evading foreign nations' laws on land ownership, forcibly preventing its workers from unionizing, and a host of other misdeeds. According to an editor's note that accompanied the exposé, the yearlong investigation relied on visits to five countries, interviews with farmers and officials, internal Chiquita documents, and over 2,000 voicemail messages that were reportedly given to the paper by an authorized Chiquita executive.
