Country Club Document Ties AFA Treasurer to Testaferro Amid Ongoing Probe

A new country club registry, under judicial review, confirms ties between AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino and an alleged front man, building on prior ARCA revelations about testaferros linked to Toviggino and president Chiqui Tapia. Tapia faces mounting scandals with diminishing ally support.

Following the ARCA report exposing explosive asset growth of Luciano Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte—alleged testaferros for AFA's Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia and treasurer Pablo Toviggino—a country club registry has surfaced, directly linking Toviggino to a supposed front man, as reported by TN. Justice authorities are scrutinizing this document amid the broadening investigation into AFA leadership.

Tapia, already embroiled in probes involving Sur Finanzas money laundering and asset surges like Toviggino's elite horse holdings, now lacks backing from key figures including Luciano Nakis, Toviggino himself, and Maxi Levy. Argentine public sentiment reflects growing exhaustion with football corruption, intensifying calls for transparency and accountability in sports governance.

These revelations underscore escalating pressure on AFA executives as the judicial scrutiny deepens.
