The Repsol group faces lawsuits, administrative sanctioning processes and tax liabilities in different countries that, together, add up to claims of at least USD 12,955 million. Only the amount committed in Peru, from the spill of almost 12,000 barrels of oil in the sea, is greater than the USD 4,496 million of net profits reported by the multinational in 2022. On March 20, the Puente Piedra-Ventanilla Superior Court of Justice will decide whether one of the millionaire claims will proceed, and on March 27, a conciliation will be held with 19 associations of fishermen affected by the environmental disaster.
