Chilean Customs faces allegations of $2.2 billion surcharge in scanner truck procurement

Chilean Customs is under scrutiny for allegedly overpaying 2.2 billion pesos for two scanner truck tenders awarded to CRESCIENDO Spa in 2024. The discrepancy arises from a significant price increase between the March contract for Arica and Los Andes and the subsequent contract for San Antonio and Osorno nine months later. The investigation seeks to determine if the price hike constitutes corruption or administrative mismanagement.
