The grandchildren of businessman Jaime Santa Cruz submitted an expert report estimating damages of over US$ 298 million to the estate. The defense responded with audits that rule out corporate simulation.
The family conflict over the estate of Jaime Santa Cruz, who died on March 8, 2020, intensified in the courts. The Roa Santa Cruz siblings submitted a Butelmann Consultores report on April 30 to the 25th Civil Court of Santiago. The document concludes that the inventory of assets should reflect at least US$ 298.02 million more.
The defense for the Santa Cruz Negri uncles challenged the report for temporal inconsistencies and unrealistic ownership percentages. In response, Juan Pablo Santa Cruz Negri commissioned a KPMG study asserting that the operations were onerous and not gratuitous simulations.
Another report from Valtin Consultores, dated December 2025, indicates that the 2011 sales of stakes exceeded values estimated by independent third parties. The parties involved operate companies such as Pesquera Blumar and AD Retail.
