In an extensive investigation by Clarín into the financial operations of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), alarming evidence has emerged regarding the intricacies of money transfers handled by lawyer Juan Pablo Beacon, who is closely associated with AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino. It has been discovered that Beacon orchestrated international money transfers from the AFA's contract payment agencies to various shell companies in locations such as Miami, ostensibly for consulting services. This operation raises red flags suggesting the possible diversion of funds from the AFA, which are intended for legitimate operational costs.

Details of the operation revealed by the investigation indicate that after Beacon provided proof of the international transfer, a financier known as "Fiño," based at a specific address in Corrientes, would release the funds to Beacon in Buenos Aires. The structure of these transactions included deductions for the financier's commissions and intermediary retainers, with the remaining cash ultimately being delivered to specific offices in Buenos Aires. This complex financial maneuvering not only exemplifies gross mismanagement but also hints at deeper, potentially fraudulent activities surrounding the AFA's finances.

Furthermore, Clarín highlights a possible link between these questionable financial operations and an ongoing insurance fraud case, in which former officials of the AFA are currently being prosecuted. The evidence collected raises severe questions about the ethics and practices within the Argentine Football Association and spotlights the need for greater scrutiny and accountability within sports organizations to prevent similar scandals in the future. This investigation may lead to more significant repercussions for those involved as it unravels the entangled web of financial impropriety within such a central institution of Argentine sports.
