Raids Uncover 2021 AFA Contract Tied to Faroni as Court Seeks U.S. Bank Records

Investigators are probing whether a Faroni-linked structure diverted AFA’s overseas match revenues through a 30% commission arrangement.

Overview

  • Judge Luis Armella ordered coordinated searches at AFA’s Viamonte headquarters, the Ezeiza complex and Javier Faroni’s home in Nordelta.
  • The seized document links AFA to TourProdEnter LLC and, according to case sources, grants the firm exclusivity over foreign collections with a 30% commission.
  • Federal police intercepted Faroni at Aeroparque as he attempted to travel to Uruguay, and the court placed a ban on his leaving the country.
  • The court initiated requests to four U.S. banks for transaction records tied to TourProdEnter LLC and related offshore entities through mutual legal assistance.
  • AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia and executive Pablo Toviggino face scrutiny over approvals of the questioned agreements as seized materials undergo analysis.
