The Argentine Football Association (AFA) was once again at the center of the controversy after the release of an alleged audio detailing a mechanism for diverting millions of dollars from the entity. The message, attributed to lawyer Juan Pablo Beacon, former leader of the institution and close collaborator of Pablo Toviggino, is now
in the hands of Justice.In the recording released by TN, about three minutes long, Beacon describes an operation that, in his words, involved "a very specific route of money involving fraud, money laundering and violation of the exchange rate law at the time of the breach”.
According to his story, the funds came out of the AFA with “the appearance of legality”, through irregular contracts or fictitious services.“Either with a contract, with implausible social objects that didn't exist, provision of services with absolutely abstract objects, or I came up with trickery contracts or with real contracts not passed by a committee that ended up being detrimental to a third party,” he explained.
The circuit continued abroad, mainly in Spain, through companies linked to the AFA that allowed administrative maneuvers, such as terminations or addenda, to be carried out without the control of the Executive Committee. This, according to the audio, made it easier to generate additional movements and make it difficult to track money
