AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino asked to recuse Judge Diego Amarante citing manifest enmity and presented an article from Data Clave as evidence. The judge rejected the request and viewed it as an attempt to stall the probe.
The filing was made by Toviggino’s lawyer, Marcelo Rocchetti, as part of a case examining alleged tax evasion maneuvers totaling nearly 300 million pesos and the possible existence of a criminal tax association.
Judge Amarante dismissed the request and stated there were no elements proving a loss of impartiality. He held that the motion aimed to hinder the legitimate progress of the judicial proceedings.
ARCA’s expanded complaint targets Toviggino, Claudio Tapia and other AFA leaders for the alleged use of fake suppliers. The investigation includes raids and corporate movements linked to the treasurer’s circle.
