Chilean casino operator Dreams has once again rejected the allegations of collusion made against the company by the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (FNE). In October the FNE filed a request against Dreams, Enjoy, and Marina del Sol for alleged collusion in the casino bidding processes conducted in 2020 and 2021.
Although the deadline to respond to the FNE’s request expired on November 29, the president and owner of the firm, Claudio Fischer; the general manager of Dreams, Jaime Wilhelm; and the manager of administration and finance, Claudio Teada, submitted dilatory exceptions to the Tribunal for the Defence of Free Competition (TDLC). A dilatory exception is a formal objection made by a party in court that is intended to delay the legal process, but not dismiss the case entirely.
