Customs would have paid $2.2 billion overage to the company for two scanner truck tenders.

According to the report, Chile's customs authority (Aduanas) may have paid $220 million more than the market value for two scanner truck contracts awarded to a private company. The article suggests that this overpayment occurred through two bidding processes, raising concerns about potential inefficiencies or corruption in the procurement process. The issue highlights possible flaws in how public tenders are managed and could lead to calls for greater transparency and oversight in government contracting practices.
