Chilean prosecutors, tax agency, state council seek to annul SQM acquittals

Chile's Fiscalía, SII, and CDE have jointly appealed the acquittal of key defendants in the SQM campaign-finance case, citing contradictions, legal errors, and ignored evidence. The move signals a coordinated push to reopen the trial, though the appellate outcome remains uncertain. This matters as it could revive a high-profile political corruption case with implications for Chilean business and political figures.
