ARCA expands complaint against AFA and accuses Tapia and Toviggino of fiscal illicit association

The Revenue and Customs Control Agency expanded the criminal complaint against the Argentine Football Association. It accused Claudio Tapia and Pablo Toviggino of forming a fiscal illicit association linked to nearly 300 million pesos in evasion through fake invoices.

The filing was made before the economic criminal court led by Diego Amarante. This case was already investigating the AFA for alleged undue appropriation of taxes and social security resources amounting to nearly 19 billion pesos.

ARCA detected evasion maneuvers totaling 289 million pesos between 2023 and 2025. According to the agency, companies without operational capacity were used to issue false vouchers and hide the final destination of the funds, with 77% of payments made via checks.

The AFA rejected the accusations. It stated that part of the information is difficult to reconstruct due to the volume of movements at the Ezeiza site during 2023 and 2024, and that many contracts were carried out under turnkey modality.

The expansion requested an investigation into a possible fiscal illicit association with temporal continuity and organized structure. It also mentioned other leaders such as Víctor Blanco, Cristian Malaspina and Gustavo Lorenzo.
