Argentina threatens UK oil CEO with jail over Falklands drilling

Argentina has sent a legal notice to Rockhopper Exploration CEO Sam Moody and CFO threatening jail over the Sea Lion offshore oil project in the Falkland Islands, escalating rhetoric over the disputed territory. The move signals a harder stance from Buenos Aires, though it remains unclear if it will pursue legal action or if this is coercive posturing. This raises sovereign risk for UK-linked energy assets in the South Atlantic and could strain UK-Argentina relations.
