News Members Trending A multimillion-dollar fine Huawei owed the Costa Rican state was allegedly used to give the Chinese tech giant an unfair advantage. Published 1 min read Costa Rican prosecutors have charged five current and former managers of the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), Costa Rica's autonomous, state-owned electricity and telecommunications provider, over an alleged preferential deal involving Chinese technology giant Huawei. Prosecutors allege that Huawei was allowed to use US$6.7 million of an almost US$8 million fine it owed ICE to reduce the effective price of a subsequent bid. Huawei’s offer, originally worth about US$8.3 million, was therefore valued at just US$1.6 million for comparison purposes, potentially giving the company an advantage over competing bidders.
