Greenpeace is fighting a $300 million lawsuit by Energy Transfer, claiming it aims to silence dissent against the oil industry through expensive legal challenges.
The lawsuit, filed in 2017, alleges Greenpeace incited protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, targeting the group's financial stability and operational capacity.
Greenpeace is leveraging a new EU directive to combat SLAPP suits, aiming to reduce the economic fallout of the costly litigation in U.S. courts.
The environmental group plans to countersue Energy Transfer if it doesn't drop the suit and compensate Greenpeace for legal costs, under recent European regulations.
