The Casation Chamber holds the key to define if the case regarding the mansion linked to the AFA stays in Campana or returns to the city courts

The Casation Chamber is set to decide whether the case involving a mansion allegedly owned by an Argentine Football Association official remains in Campana or is transferred to Capital City courts.

The Federal Chamber of Cassation is tasked with determining the jurisdiction of a legal case concerning a luxurious mansion in Pilar, allegedly linked to Pablo Toviggino, the treasurer of the Argentine Football Association (AFA). The judges, Daniel Petrone, Javier Carbajo, and Carlos Mahiques, will decide whether the case continues in the federal courts of Campana, as the accused have requested, or if it should be moved back to the economic criminal courts in Buenos Aires, where a federal prosecutor has appealed for the case to be transferred. The ongoing legal discussion revolves around the ownership of the mansion, which has attracted attention due to its connection with a prominent figure in Argentine football. The implications of this decision could significantly influence how high-profile cases involving sports officials are adjudicated in Argentina, including concerns around legal transparency and jurisdictional authority. Additionally, the case could escalate to the Supreme Court depending on the outcome of the judges' decision, highlighting the complexities and potential ramifications of this legal battle. The involvement of public figures and sensitive information surrounding the AFA only adds to the stakes of the court's ruling.
