Judge Diego Amarante has processed Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, president of the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA), and treasurer Pablo Toviggino for alleged tax evasion. He argued that Tapia holds the fiscal key and bank accounts of the entity, and signed the memoranda and balances submitted to the IGJ from 2017 to the present.
Embargoes were ordered on their assets. Tapia made his first public appearance after the judicial setback the day before the second friendly match of the Argentine national team at La Bombonera.
Separately, justice is examining a chat between Toviggino and his former right-hand man, Juan Pablo Beacon, which allegedly reveals the delivery of US$300,000 in a sock drawer. That money reportedly went from Tourprodenter to a ghost company in Miami, linked to Javier Faroni's firm.
