Following notifications to major fuel distributors, the Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU) issued an urgent request to the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon) for reports on disproportionate price hikes. This escalates efforts amid inspections since March 9 that hit three of four top distributors, with a new government task force now monitoring the market.
The National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN) ramped up inspections in free trade zones, airports, and border crossings during the year-end season, leading to the seizure of goods worth over $15 billion. These efforts focused on ensuring compliance with regulations for free trade zone operations and the legal movement of money by international travelers. The checks covered multiple cities and key entry and exit points across the country.
