A routine traffic check ended with the removal from circulation of a 2007 Renault Clio and sparked a fresh controversy: the son of Andrés Chadwick Piñera driving without a license, without valid paperwork, and in a vehicle carrying a history of 330 fines on the Civil Registry since 2009, according to Radio Bío Bío. The stop took place Wednesday morning at Apoquindo and El Bosque (Las Condes, Santiago) during an enforcement operation by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications (MTT) with support from Carabineros.
