IGJ Summons AFA and Superliga Auditors Over $450 Million in Questioned Balances

Regulators set a Jan. 20 deadline for auditors to justify opaque entries under threat of state oversight of AFA’s books.

Overview

  • The Justice Inspectorate scheduled testimony for Superliga auditor Fernando Dubois on Jan. 14 and for AFA accountants Claudia Carraro (2017), Umberto Mucelli (2018–2021) and Claudio Bisurgi (2022–2024) on Jan. 15.
  • The probe targets large, vaguely labeled items such as “other expenses” and “miscellaneous” that the regulator says block reconstruction of the origin and destination of funds.
  • Observed inconsistencies correspond to about $111 million in AFA balances and roughly $340 million in Superliga accounts, according to IGJ documentation.
  • Officials demanded explanations of audit procedures, internal controls and supporting records for the questioned statements spanning 2017 through 2024.
  • If explanations fail to resolve the issues, the IGJ says it could appoint veedores to directly supervise AFA’s administration and accounting records.
