Javier Milei's government is taking action against companies with oil exploration plans. Five companies are facing criminal complaints due to their involvement in a disputed area. The companies in question allegedly hold licenses from the UK for hydrocarbon exploration. These licenses are considered illegitimate by the Argentine government. The affected companies include Navitas Petroleum Development and Eco Oil & Gas. Further information on this development can be found through the original report by Mauricio Torres.

Details of the complaints and the companies' responses are not provided in the initial announcement.

The Argentine government's move is related to a long-standing dispute over a certain territory.
