Uber Technology Inc. has habit of charging into new markets without heeding local regulations, according to an Argentinian lawyer suing the company after he was left facing up to nine years in prison.

After the San Francisco-based ride-sharing company’s Buenos Aires launch in April 2016, Uber’s Argentina representative, Michael R. Rattagan, was subjected to police investigations and tax evasion charges for Uber’s violation of local regulations, according to his lawsuit filed last Friday. Rattagan is seeking millions of dollars for the alleged harm Uber caused him and his law practice.
