CITGO Petroleum Corporation Denies Allegations of Recently Filed Complaint
CITGO says 3,600 employees and three refineries are not liable for the plaintiffs’ claims and will fight the case in court.
- On Wednesday, CITGO Petroleum Corporation denied allegations in a complaint filed on May 21, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, asserting it owes the plaintiffs nothing.
- CITGO stated the current complaint is derivative of litigation already dismissed by federal courts in the District of Delaware and the Southern District of Florida, emphasizing compliance with U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctions.
- Maintaining robust governance and internal control frameworks, the company intends to vigorously defend itself and its employees against these claims through the appropriate legal process.
- Six plaintiffs—Jorge Alejandro Rodriguez Moreno, Miguel Enrique Otero Castillo, Iván R. Freites C., Angel Moreno, Pedro O. Mora, and Jesus A.M. Carrillo—filed the action, though the Delaware court previously found they failed to establish the alleged conduct.
- With approximately 3,600 employees, CITGO operates as a major independent refiner with approximately 829,000 barrels-per-day crude capacity and supplies approximately 4,000 retail outlets across the United States.
