The alleged messages detail more than 40 cash deliveries between 2021 and 2022 for more than 18 million dollars and would have as their epicenter the office of Juan Pablo Beacon, former partner of Pablo Toviggino
The judicial investigation into the management of funds by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) added new elements that deepen suspicions about irregular money movements. The appearance of alleged chats, revealed by TN, details million-dollar cash deliveries with references to specific vehicles, dates
, treasurer of the parent company of Argentine football and right hand man of the unpresentable Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia.
The deliveries would have taken place in high-end cars, such as BMW, 4x4 trucks and a Volkswagen Passat, at an office located in Lavalle 1718, in the City of Buenos Aires, known in the file as “the Rosadita of the AFA”. In the exchanges, attributed to Beacon and the financier Diego Pasztor, meetings were coordinated for the
transfer of cash.
The reconstruction of the movements indicates that between May 2021 and March 2022, 42 payments totaling 13,277,000 dollars would have been made.
In that period, Pasztor appears as the main financier, while the firms Q22, Stratega and Odeoma are identified as alleged "ghost" companies used in the maneuver.
Documented cases include deliveries such as one on August 2, 2021 for 200,000 dollars in a dark gray BMW and another on November 18 of the same year for 700 thousand dollars in a black Passat. All the movements would have been destined for offices linked to the AFA's management structure.
The file, now in the hands of Judge Charvay after the inhibition of Luis Armella, also records the incorporation of a second financier since February 2022: Fabián Adolfo Krunfli, alias “Fiño”.
In that tranche, another 26 cash payments of more than 5.2 million dollars would have been
made.
The structure under investigation also includes the company TourProdenter, linked to businessman Javier Faroni, which would have been used for transfers under suspicion. According to the cause, this firm also financed a luxury yacht used in Monaco by the president of the
AFA.
Justice analyzes a circuit in which funds generated abroad, by sponsors, friends and the AFA Play platform, would have been transferred to accounts in the United States and then returned to the country in cash through informal financial institutions. That scheme would include the intervention of “caves” and the distribution of money outside the banking system
.
The case, promoted by Judge Armella and prosecutor Cecilia Incardona, seeks to reconstruct the route of some 260 million dollars. In addition to the chats, the file already includes audios, spreadsheets, invoices and proof of transfers that aim to determine both the origin and the final destination of the funds under investigation
