A $2.5M vehicle repair budget shift in Belize sparked corruption concerns, while a tobacco trader survived a cartel-linked attack.
On November 7, 2025, a 2024–2025 vehicle repair budget of $2.5 million for Belize’s Eastern Division led to a shift to RX Auto, a shop on the Phillip Goldson Highway, where over $54,000 was paid in two months under a new direct payment system that eliminated prior oversight.
The change, intended to boost efficiency, removed checks like invoices and multiple authorizations, sparking concerns over accountability and favoritism, with multiple sources confirming a key political figure’s involvement despite official denials.
In response, police officials plan to revert to in-house repairs at the Queen Street station.
Separately, Nitin Buxani, a Corozal Freezone tobacco trader, survived a targeted armed attack near Mile 8, sustaining gunshot wounds; investigators are probing possible links to organized crime and the spread of cartel-related violence into Belize City.
