Argentine judge embargoes Chevron assets in environmental damage case.

The AP (11/8) reports, “An Argentine judge embargoed Chevron Corp.’s assets in Argentina to carry out an Ecuadorean court order that awarded $19 billion to plaintiffs in an environmental damage lawsuit in the Amazon, a lawyer said Wednesday.” According to the AP, Judge Adrian Elcuj Miranda “ordered the freezing of Chevron’s assets in Argentina as plaintiffs try to collect the judgment won in Ecuador last year, Argentine lawyer Enrique Bruchou told reporters in a conference call.” The judge’s order states that “all the cash flows from sales and bank deposits be frozen until the $19 billion is collected.”
