In the latest development in the probe into AFA president Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia's alleged fronts, authorities raided the 10-hectare Pilar mega-estate owned by Real Central SRL on Friday, seizing 54 luxury vehicles. Separately, ARCA's DGI filed charges against AFA for withholding over 7.5 billion pesos in taxes and contributions, targeting Tapia directly. Complainant Facundo Del Gaiso urges continuity under Judge Daniel Rafecas.
Maribel Vilaplana, the journalist who lunched with Carlos Mazón during the October 2024 flood, retrieved her car from a central Valencia parking lot at 19:47, just 24 minutes before the Generalitat's mass alert. This detail, revealed in the judicial investigation, confirms changes in her testimonies and raises questions about the president's movements that day. The Catarroja judge is examining these facts in the context of the tragedy that killed 229 people.
