CLThe Chilean Public Prosecutor's Office has decided not to continue the investigation against businessman Isidoro Quiroga regarding the alleged fraud in the sale of the salmon processing plant Australis Seafoods to Chinese company Joyvio. The decision was communicated to the 4th Guarantee Court of Santiago by fiscal adjunt Juan Pablo Araya, who stated that the evidence collected during investigations was insufficient to support formal charges. The court has scheduled a hearing on October 20, 2026, to provide more details. This follows the closure of the criminal investigation by the Fourth Guarantee Court of Santiago at the end of August 2026, amid criticism from Joyvio’s lawyers over incomplete inquiries. Legal representatives of Quiroga argue that the investigation confirmed there was no fraud or deceit in the sale, and that Joyvio’s claims were dismissed both in Chile and abroad.
