Chilean Ministry of Sport Files Complaint Over Santiago 2023 Liquidation Irregularities

Chile's Ministry of Sport (Mindep) has lodged a formal complaint with the Public Ministry, seeking to clarify alleged irregularities discovered during the liquidation of the Santiago 2023 Corporation. The move aims to ensure transparency and accountability regarding public funds used for the event.
