Overview

• Judges Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti granted the company’s federal appeal on September 3, 2025 and reinstated the path to a public oral trial.
• The case stems from a May 10–18, 2021 blockade at Química Oeste’s Monte Grande depot, with accusations of extortion, disturbance of possession and obstruction of work.
• A trial elevation issued on October 18, 2022 by a Lomas de Zamora judge was later reversed with full dismissals by the local appeals chamber, which were then left standing by the provincial cassation court and the Buenos Aires Supreme Court.
• The complainant reports multimillion‑peso daily losses and estimates a roughly $2 million impact on the petroleum sector due to disrupted supplies.
• The ruling sends the file back for trial proceedings and has been reported as significant for the legal debate over union blockades, with no official response from the Camioneros union recorded yet.
