An Argentine judge has acquitted Maximiliano Cabaleyro and six other defendants who were accused of blocking Distribuidora Rey, a small-and-medium enterprise (Pyme) located in San Pedro, province of Buenos Aires, during a 2021 incident.
The acquittal prompted sharp criticism from the business's owner, Ariel Rey, who argued that the judge's decision effectively justified a crime. The ruling was also publicly condemned by Manuel Passaglia, a Buenos Aires provincial deputy and former mayor of San Nicolás, who claimed the judicial decision empowers those who engage in extortion.
The case centers on union-related blockades targeting private businesses, drawing significant political and economic attention regarding the legal treatment of trade union protests and corporate rights in Argentina.
