Overview
- Argentina’s football case, which hit a deadline Monday for final briefs, now awaits an Economic Criminal Chamber ruling on procesamientos of AFA leaders Claudio Tapia and Pablo Toviggino over ARS 19.3 billion in allegedly withheld payroll taxes, after Tapia’s appeal was deemed abandoned and a private accuser sought to widen the probe.
- The federal appeals court of cassation in Argentina must also decide where the Pilar mansion investigation sits, with prosecutor Mario Villar urging a return to Judge Daniel Rafecas in Buenos Aires, a venue choice that could shape how deeply AFA finances are examined.
- Spain’s Audiencia Nacional on Tuesday revoked several processings in a sprawling cocaine and money‑laundering probe, agreeing with Antidrug prosecutors that key international steps are unfinished, and the judge then pulled back his move to send ex‑UDEF chief Óscar Sánchez to trial as Sánchez remains in pretrial detention after more than €20 million was found hidden.
- Mexico’s PAN on Tuesday opened three tracks against Sinaloa governor on leave Rubén Rocha Moya by filing for impeachment, seeking a Senate review to declare a disappearance of powers in the state, and preparing a complaint to the International Criminal Court, all citing U.S. accusations that link state actors to the Sinaloa Cartel.
- Mexican federal prosecutors late Tuesday into Wednesday said they have no active case against ex‑navy chief Rafael Ojeda, confirmed Argentina will handle an extradition process for Contralmirante Fernando Farías Laguna with a 60‑day window that runs to June 21, and noted they are waiting on U.S. evidence before calling Rocha Moya to testify.
