Chats reveal how a man close to AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino ordered the transfer of US$4.8 million to Dicetel, a ghost company. The operation involves Juan Pablo Beacon, a financier known as “Fiño,” and Javier Faroni's firm. Meanwhile, Peronism chooses silence, defense, or complicity amid revelations of obscene expenses and million-dollar diversions.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) is embroiled in a corruption scandal involving obscene expenses, ghost companies, and million-dollar fund diversions. Leaked chats show Juan Pablo Beacon, a close associate of AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino, directing the transfer of US$4.8 million to Dicetel, identified as a ghost company. The operation also involves a financier nicknamed “Fiño” and Javier Faroni's firm, alongside figures like Claudio Tapia.
Peronism, linked to Kirchnerism, has responded with silence, defense, or complicity to these allegations, fostering a network of impunity that feels increasingly stifling. The leaks highlight dealings tied to Toviggino and his circle, exposing financial irregularities in AFA's management. No contradictions appear across sources, but the case underscores ongoing transparency issues in Argentine football.
This scandal, reported on February 2, 2026, challenges the credibility of the sports institution and its leaders.
