Augusto Fraschina, an equestrian instructor who taught Pablo Toviggino's children, the AFA treasurer, was accused of sexual abuse in 2018 by a student. The case has been stalled for nearly eight years, nearing prescription. Two Casación magistrates who invalidated evidence belong to the Argentine Football Association's ethics and appeals tribunals.
The complaint against Augusto Fraschina, a jockey and equestrian instructor, was filed in 2018 by a student accusing him of sexual abuse. Fraschina taught classes to the children of Pablo Toviggino, treasurer of the Argentine Football Association (AFA). Reports indicate the judicial case has remained stalled for nearly eight years, leaving it on the verge of prescription.
A key element involves two magistrates from the Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber who invalidated one of the pieces of evidence in the case. These judges are members of the AFA's Ethics Tribunal and Appeals Tribunal, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. The information comes from journalistic sources highlighting the links between the accused and AFA figures.
To date, no significant progress has been reported in the investigation, and the case nears a point where it could be dismissed due to the passage of time. The sources emphasize the delay in the judicial process without providing further details on the specific content of the complaint or the evidence involved.
