- Prosecutors list Andrés Iniesta, Ricardo Paul Valderrama Rubio and Carlos Gómez Pintor in the case tied to NSN Sudamérica, created in April 2023 as a regional arm of NSN Barcelona.
- After one concert incurred heavy losses and with reports of a Miami friendly that also lost money, the Peruvian subsidiary was placed in liquidation in June 2024.
