Overview
- Two days earlier, prosecutor Claudio Navas Rial formally imputed AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia and treasurer Pablo Toviggino over alleged non‑deposit of withheld taxes and social contributions totaling ARS 19,353,546,843.85.
- ARCA’s complaint, now before Economic Criminal Court No. 5 under Judge Diego Amarante, frames the conduct under articles 4 and 7 of Law 27.430 and seeks to extend the probe to directors Cristian Malaspina and Gustavo Lorenzo.
- La Nación’s investigation reports that AFA’s external vehicle TourProdEnter LLC, which concentrated more than US$260 million in overseas income since 2021, sent at least US$42 million to Florida entities with no employees or declared activity and US$109.9 million via a Uruguayan broker using a British Virgin Islands structure.
- Documents cited in the reporting show luxury outlays tied to official activities, and identify TourProdEnter’s administrator as Erica Gillette, who is linked to producer Javier Faroni, while noting references to a company and a relative connected to AFA leadership as recipients.
- Parallel judicial tracks continue, including inquiries into Sur Finanzas and the ownership of a lavish Pilar property linked to Real Central SRL, with Judge Marcelo Aguinsky ordering evidence measures during the summer recess and summoning Luciano Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte to give explanations by videoconference.
