Overview
- Federal Police executed 33–35 simultaneous searches at AFA headquarters, the Ezeiza training base, Superliga offices and multiple club facilities, seizing contracts, computers and accounting records.
- The investigation follows a DGI/ARCA complaint alleging Sur Finanzas moved funds via third‑party accounts, including low‑income monotributistas and apocryphal contributors, to launder money and evade taxes.
- Targets included Racing, Independiente, San Lorenzo, Banfield, Argentinos Juniors, Platense, Barracas Central, Los Andes, Deportivo Morón, Excursionistas, Deportivo Armenio, Acassuso, Temperley, Dock Sud, Victoriano Arenas and Brown de Adrogué.
- Prosecutor Cecilia Incardona requested the lifting of fiscal and banking secrecy for implicated entities to reconstruct the financial circuit, as Sur Finanzas owner Ariel Vallejos recently surrendered his cellphone to investigators.
- A separate case overseen by Judge Daniel Rafecas ordered a federal guard on a luxury property in Pilar as he reviews a complaint alleging links to senior AFA officials.
