Overview
- After hearing from accountants for AFA and the former Superliga, the IGJ said it can evaluate whether to recommend a government-appointed overseer for AFA’s accounts, though its chief played down the immediate likelihood.
- The IGJ deemed AFA’s material on the June 30, 2024 balance insufficient, calling that fiscal year the most important given the amounts involved, with alleged inconsistencies flagged around US$450 million.
- The Liga Profesional/Superliga asserted it submitted all requested documents in time and form and reported that, following a meeting, IGJ officials made no new observations or requests.
- Superliga auditor Fernando Dubois delivered an 11-page note, acknowledged delays in prior responses, apologized, and committed to further clarifications by the IGJ’s January 20 deadline.
- A separate judicial case continues to advance, with AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia and treasurer Pablo Toviggino formally named as defendants.
