achievement.The decision of the New York Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned the conviction of more than $18 billion, represented a great achievement for the Government, which was able to reverse a critical inherited scenario.
The current libertarian administration took the case in a difficult instance, following the ruling handed down by Judge Loretta Preska in 2023, who had condemned the country to pay a figure that, with interest, reached close to USD 18 billion.
In this context, the legal strategy promoted over the past few months by the Government of Milei was decisive in obtaining a result that had very low chances of success.

the current Government.Buenos Aires governor Axel Kicillof stated on his social networks: “The U.S. Justice ruled in favor of YPF and reveals years of lies,” and maintained that “it was a story driven by vultures to question a sovereign decision.”
