Overview
- Vallejo, who was formally imputed for association ilícita and money laundering, spoke in a televised LN+ interview on Monday and rejected the allegations against him.
- He described his ties to AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia as commercial and ordinary, saying their last contact was at the end of last year and that Tapia did not provide judicially provable favors.
- Vallejo disclosed that Sur Finanzas earned roughly USD 40,000–50,000 per month from sponsorship work and used those fees to explain past purchases that drew scrutiny.
- He called Sur Finanzas a "chivo expiatorio" and said other investigations linked to AFA figures have not advanced at the same pace, while he has returned to informal financial activity after the case progressed.
- The court process remains open with no resolution, and the case keeps focus on how private sponsors and AFA governance intersect and on possible effects for future football sponsorship deals.
