The Chamber of Cassation will decide who investigates the true owners of the estate linked to the AFA

The Chamber of Cassation in Argentina will determine which judge will investigate the actual owners of a property associated with the AFA following a legal complaint.

The Chamber of Federal Cassation, Argentina's highest criminal court, is set to decide whether the investigation into the true owners of a property linked to the Argentine Football Association (AFA) will remain with Judge Adrián González Charbay from Campana or return to Judge Marcelo Aguinsky's economic criminal court. This decision follows a grievance filed by Prosecutor Carlos Cerras, who is challenging the jurisdiction assigned to the Campana judge after the Federal Court of San Martín denied his extraordinary resource petition.

Currently, the case involves complex legal considerations surrounding the ownership of a property in Pilar that is claimed to be associated with AFA officials. The ongoing deliberations reflect broader issues of accountability and transparency within Argentine sports governance, as the implications of who truly controls such properties can impact public trust and institutional integrity.

As the Chamber of Cassation comprises judges Daniel Petrone, Diego Barroetaveña, and Javier Carbajo, their eventual ruling could set a significant precedent for future cases involving the intersection of sports, law, and property rights in Argentina, highlighting the judiciary's role in overseeing matters that affect prominent public organizations.
