On December 4, the 18th Civil Court of Santiago accepted the arguments presented by the CDE in November regarding the Inadmissibility of the route that Julio Ponce Lerou chose to pay the fine for the Cascadas case.
According to the court, Ponce “made a mistake when consigning the payment in the Court and not in the General Treasury of the Republic “.
It is because of that the return of the $ 2,152,212,620 that Soquimich’s shareholder had deposited was ordered to the court, so that the debt for the fine is effective again.
Thus, it is expected that the amount is recalculated as expressed by the CDE, forcing Ponce to pay even more.
