Boca: a government official denounced Riquelme for alleged irregularities in the adherent member system

A government official has accused Juan Román Riquelme of questionable practices in the Boca Juniors membership system.

Walter Klix, the director of Chemical Precursors at the Ministry of Security in Argentina, has formally accused football legend Juan Román Riquelme of fraud and illicit association linked to Boca Juniors' membership system. The complaint, presented by Klix as both a member and a concerned citizen, claims there are irregularities in converting adherent members to active status, suggesting potential manipulation of the process.

In his statement, Klix raised concerns over the current administration's management of memberships, alleging not only that they are improperly selling protocols—which are non-profit entry tickets to games—but also suggesting that the transition of members from adherent to active status is not being handled transparently. He insists that he possesses substantial evidence, including numerous messages, that support his claims of corruption at the club.

This controversy has significant implications for Boca Juniors, as it not only questions the integrity of their member management system but potentially tarnishes the reputation of one of the club's most iconic figures, Riquelme. Such allegations can lead to broader scrutiny of how football clubs operate in Argentina, particularly regarding transparency and governance, and may encourage other members to voice concerns about their own experiences within the club's administration.
