Overview
- Multiple international outlets reported on Wednesday that FBI and Department of Justice teams in Washington and Miami have opened a preliminary review of AFA-related transactions that passed through U.S. banks.
- Reporting centers on TourProdEnter LLC, a Florida company said to have handled roughly US$260 million in AFA revenues with about US$57 million of transfers flagged as lacking clear economic purpose.
- Investigators have begun gathering testimony from people with direct knowledge of AFA operations, including a recorded meeting with businessman Guillermo Tofoni, though U.S. authorities have not publicly confirmed the probe.
- The AFA has denied wrongdoing and dispatched legal representatives to the United States, while the reported U.S. review overlaps with confirmed Argentine raids and charges from December 9, 2025.
- If U.S. prosecutors escalate the matter they could seek asset forfeiture, fines or criminal charges, but any sporting sanctions would require separate action by football bodies such as FIFA.
