  • The dossier names Andrés Iniesta along with Paul Valderrama Rubio and Carlos Gómez Pintor as subjects of the investigation.
  • Around $600,000 from Gucho Entertainment S.A.C. and other Peruvian investors was purportedly raised for sporting and entertainment events that mostly were not delivered.
