- The Public Prosecutor accepted the expansion of the criminal complaint and extradition request against Sebastián Vanella Muñoz, accused of using 829 false invoices causing a tax loss of $705,392,850.
- Vanella, former legal representative of Constructora SLV S.A. and ex-general manager of La Piccola Italia, is currently in the United States and was absent from the formalization hearing.
- The case is part of a broader investigation into a network involved in serious tax crimes, including the registration of 1,322 false electronic invoices between 2015 and 2018.
- The fraudulent actions aimed to illegitimately increase VAT credits and reduce taxable income, resulting in lower tax payments.
- The Santiago First Guarantee Court approved the extradition request, which will now be reviewed by the Santiago Court of Appeals.
