Federal Complaint Accuses Boca President Juan Román Riquelme of Administrative Fraud

Prosecutor Carlos Vasser is reviewing whether to open a formal probe after a prior case by the same accuser was archived for lack of evidence.

Overview

  • The filing was made on February 10 by Walter Federico Klix, a Boca member and national security official, in Criminal and Correctional Court No. 39 (case CCC 6527/2026).
  • The complaint alleges a black‑market scheme involving manipulation of the membership roll, clandestine sales of tickets and protocols, underreported attendance and revenues, and disabled turnstile controls.
  • Besides Riquelme, the presentation names club secretary Ricardo Rosica and members of the board as potential participants in the alleged wrongdoing.
  • Klix says he can offer more than 100 witnesses plus chats, photos and videos, and he asked for forensic accounting and official records from AFIP, GCBA and Conmebol.
  • Reports noted no official response from Riquelme or Boca, while club sources discussed possible internal disciplinary action against the complaining member.
