Overview
- Judge Diego Amarante is set to rule on Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia’s dismissal request after receiving formal rejections from prosecutor Claudio Navas Rial and ARCA as complainant.
- The case alleges improper retention of taxes and social-security contributions, with Tapia, treasurer Pablo Toviggino, secretary general Cristian Malaspina and director general Gustavo Lorenzo formally imputed.
- Bank records from Banco Credicoop provided to the court show periods with deposits near 8,000 million pesos and dollar-denominated term deposits, with investigators assessing AFA’s liquidity at payment due dates.
- AFA’s defense invokes Economy Ministry measures that paused fiscal executions for nonprofits, but ARCA and the prosecutor argue those actions did not alter statutory due dates for the obligations under investigation.
- Parallel inquiries include a federal probe in Lomas de Zamora into foreign movements linked to TourProdEnter LLC and an IGJ audit demanding expanded accounting, contract details and foreign-exchange flow reports since 2021.
