Overview
- After the January court recess, Chamber Judge Ignacio Rodríguez Varela must rule on jurisdiction over more than 3,000 pages of U.S. bank records tied to TourProdEnter.
- Federal Judge Luis Armella raided AFA headquarters, seized the TourProdEnter contract, and is pursuing asset measures and U.S. banking cooperation focused on at least US$42 million sent to Florida entities labeled inactive.
- The seized contract shows TourProdEnter retained 30% of foreign inflows and 10% for logistics outflows since December 2021, according to the case file reported by LA NACION.
- Javier Faroni appeared before Armella on January 16 and said TourProdEnter acted on directives from AFA leaders Claudio Tapia and Pablo Toviggino, denying irregularities and citing contractual commissions, Crónica reported.
- Procedural maneuvers include Tapia and Toviggino appointing attorney Alejandro Higa and challenges to AFA’s declared domicile, while separate reporting details Kerala payments for postponed friendlies and broader commercial fallout linked to alleged triangulation.
