⚖️Breaking news: AFA faces fresh complaint from ARCA | OneFootball

The Revenue and Customs Control Agency (ARCA) has shaken the foundations of Argentine football after filing a formal complaint against the AFA. The accusation points to a complex financial scheme involving the use of fake invoices and non-existent suppliers, known as "shell companies," with the aim of diverting funds and evading tax obligations.

Investigations identified a total of 15 fake suppliers that allegedly facilitated the evasion of Income and Value Added Taxes (VAT). According to technical reports, the estimated tax loss amounts to 375 million pesos during the period between 2023 and 2024.

Traceability and Irregular Destinations

The scheme came to light after exhaustive audit work detected money movements without legitimate documentary support. The most surprising aspect of the complaint lies in the final destination of the funds: the traceability of the checks issued by the AFA revealed that the money was not used for sporting purposes.

According to banking reports, the funds were used to purchase livestock, meat, and construction materials—activities completely unrelated to the management of the country's football governing body. The judiciary is now investigating whether these maneuvers were intended to conceal the real destination of the capital through a fraudulent invoicing structure.
