Peru Opens Criminal Investigation Into Andrés Iniesta Over Alleged Aggravated Fraud

The case centers on roughly $600,000 that investors say was raised for events that largely never happened.

Overview

  • A fiscal file names Iniesta and co-defendants Paul Valderrama Rubio and Carlos Gómez Pintor in an aggravated fraud probe tied to NSN-linked companies.
  • Prosecutors cite investments solicited through NSN Sudamérica for concerts and matches that were planned in 2023 but mostly did not occur.
  • Only the UPA UPA Fest took place according to the file, which reports significant losses and no return of capital to backers.
  • The document notes NSN Sudamérica entered liquidation in June 2024, less than a year after launching operations in Peru.
  • Complaints include individual sums such as $35,000 from Iván Petrozzi and smaller amounts from other investors, and prosecutors say funds may have been transferred abroad.
