Costa Rica court upholds $4.9M ruling against Autopistas del Sol

Costa Rica's First Chamber confirmed a conviction requiring Autopistas del Sol to return ₡2,528 million (approx. $4.9M) to Conavi for funds allocated to rebuild the Escazú-Hatillo-Calle Morenos radial, plus interest and costs. The ruling follows a lawsuit by the Comptroller General's Office (CGR) and is final after the cassation appeal failed. This marks a significant legal precedent for infrastructure contract oversight in Costa Rica.
