An Argentina high court defended its decision to uphold legislation that will result in the breakup of the nation’s largest media conglomerate Clarin, denying accusations that the federal government influenced the Supreme Court to uphold the law.

Clarin said it is reviewing the Supreme Court’s decision and has not yet filed an appeal.
