AFA Defends 30% Commission Deal as Probe Traces Transfers to Faroni’s Perugia Purchase

Bank records obtained through U.S. discovery orders outline transfers investigators say financed Perugia and now anchor an active cross‑border case.

Overview

  • Judicial raids on AFA sites and Javier Faroni’s home recovered the contract naming TourProdEnter LLC as agent, with a 30% cut of international income and, in reports, an additional 10% for logistics.
  • U.S. banking records detail about US$6.2 million moved from TourProdEnter to Sports Next Gen Ltd through accounts in the U.K. and Mauritius that were used to acquire Perugia.
  • Investigators are reviewing roughly US$260 million in AFA-related receipts handled abroad and alleged diversions of at least US$42 million to shell companies, using disclosures compelled from major banks.
  • By order of Judge Luis Armella, Faroni was delayed at Aeroparque when attempting to travel and his Nordelta residence was searched as part of the widening inquiry.
  • The AFA issued a new statement asserting its arrangements secure 70% for the federation versus past deals and criticizing critics as pursuing private interests.
