US oil giant Chevron has launched a legal appeal against a $9.5bn (£5.9bn) fine by an Ecuador court for polluting much of the country's Amazon region.

Chevron accused lawyers and supporters of the indigenous groups who brought the case of "corrupting" the trial.

It said the judgement contained "numerous legal and factual defects".

The oil firm Texaco, which merged with Chevron in 2001, was accused of dumping billions of gallons of toxic materials into unlined pits and rivers.

You know, the same reason they always appeal when they're in the wrong.
