Argentina Imputes Foster Gillett, Guillermo Tofoni in Football Money-Laundering Probe

Prosecutors focus on club records, cross-border contracts, a 30-year Rampla Juniors deal to reconstruct suspected fund flows.

Overview

  • Fiscalía N°3, led by prosecutor Emilio Guerberoff, formally imputed both businessmen and opened evidence-gathering in the economic crimes case.
  • Investigators requested records from Estudiantes de La Plata and other clubs as they map transactions tied to Grupo Gillett and World Eleven.
  • The inquiry examines roughly USD 30 million in movements linked to completed transfers and failed negotiations reported in the file.
  • Players Cristian Medina, Rodrigo Villagra, Valentín Gómez and Ezequiel Piovi were summoned earlier to clarify details of the deals under scrutiny.
  • The case traces back to a March complaint by federal prosecutor Guillermo Marijuán, with media also reporting moves to lift fiscal and banking secrecy for the principals and some clubs.
