The Argentine unit of Chevron Corp. asked local courts to revoke an embargo of its assets in the country related to a $19 billion award over pollution in Ecuador, saying the ruling affects local operations.
“Chevron Argentina is victim of a fraud,” the company said in a paid statement published in newspapers Clarin and La Nacion today. “Chevron Argentina has never had operations in Ecuador and has no relation with the fraudulent trial in Ecuador.”
