Argentine journalist Santoro acquitted in extortion case tied to Kirchnerismo

A federal judge acquitted Clarín journalist Daniel Santoro of extortion charges stemming from his reporting, a case that had been pushed by Kirchnerismo-aligned prosecutors. The ruling clears Santoro of any link to the alleged extortion network led by Marcelo D'Alessio, a self-styled lawyer. The acquittal marks a legal setback for the political pressure campaign against the press.
