US authorities are examining Argentine Football Association fund movements exceeding US$300 million during the 2026 World Cup.
The FBI and US Department of Justice prosecutors are advancing a preliminary investigation into the AFA's international financial structure. The analysis focuses on commercial contracts and fund movements exceeding US$300 million, involving banks and companies based in US territory.
Businessman Guillermo Tofoni gave an in-person statement in Miami that lasted more than two hours. The summons is part of the preliminary process to determine whether financial irregularities occurred under federal law.
The investigation is led by prosecutors Patrick Gushue, Christopher Ting and Michael Berger. Claudio Tapia remains in the United States with judicial authorization while accompanying the Argentine national team at the World Cup.
