BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The government of Argentina is seeking criminal penalties against representatives of a U.S.-based global printing company that abruptly shuttered a plant in the South American country this week.
President Cristina Fernandez says the closing was not justified and contends representatives of RR Donnelley & Sons may have violated an anti-terrorism law by attempting to undermine Argentina’s economy. A company spokeswoman in the U.S. did not respond to a request for comment.
Fernandez accused the company Thursday of collaborating with foreign investors whose legal battle with the government triggered a July 30 default.
About 400 workers lost their jobs.
