Overview
- FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee declared Giuliano Galoppo in breach of a prior TAS award and warned of a prohibition of up to six months from football-related activity if he fails to pay.
- The order sets out payments of ARS 360,000 and ARS 4,477,000 with 12% annual interest from 2021 and 2022, plus US$530,000 with 12% interest from August 2022, and CHF 5,000 in costs and a CHF 5,000 fine.
- FIFA had given a 30-day window to comply, with some reports citing February 19 as the deadline, though the appeal has paused execution of the ruling for now.
- River Plate officials told local media the club will not intervene, calling it a private dispute between the midfielder and his former representative.
- Sports-law experts quoted in coverage say a FIFA suspension is legally possible but often difficult to enforce in Argentina due to potential amparo actions or insolvency proceedings.
