Italian Clothing Company To Pay – Benetton It!

June 16, 2001 By admin Leave a Comment

Italian clothing company Benetton will send letters to the families of the murder victims of four Missouri inmates featured in the company’s “We on Death Row” project expressing its regret for any pain caused by the controversial project. It’s part of a deal worked out between Benetton and the Attorney General’s Office. Attorney General Jay Nixon says Benetton will also donate $50,000 to the Missouri Crime Victims Compensation Fund as part of the agreement to resolve a lawsuit filed last year against the company and four of its representatives.Nixon filed a lawsuit in February of last year against Benetton and the four individuals who worked in the project, alleging they misrepresented the purpose of the interviews with the inmates and made false claims to state officials to gain access to the Potosi prison.
