Rome, Dec. 31 (LaPresse) – The central headquarters of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) in Buenos Aires and the training complex in Ezeiza have been searched as part of an investigation into alleged illicit activities involving a company set up in the United States in 2021. A few hours later, AFA issued a brief statement: “As has already happened on a previous occasion, we have once again made ourselves available to the police officers, judicial authorities and officials from ARCA (the Argentine tax agency) to cooperate by providing the requested physical and digital documentation,” the country’s top football body said. According to an investigation published on Sunday by La Nación, 42 million dollars were allegedly diverted from AFA through a financial system that used an intermediary company created in the United States and another four shell companies in Miami.
