After the request of Mahiques, the head of the IGJ resigned, who demanded observers to review the AFA's accounts
Daniel Vítolo has resigned from his position as head of the General Inspection of Justice (IGJ) in Argentina following a request to step aside from his duties.
Daniel Vítolo, the head of Argentina's General Inspection of Justice (IGJ), submitted his resignation to President Javier Milei, indicating that he is stepping down based on a prompted request to vacate his position. In his resignation letter, Vítolo emphasized his commitment to upholding the law and acting in the interests of both the National State and citizens throughout his tenure.
During his time at the IGJ, Vítolo aimed to establish the agency as a firm authority on legal enforcement and regulatory oversight, ensuring that powerful entities were held accountable under the same standards that govern other institutions. He acknowledged facing persistent challenges from entrenched power structures that seemed unaccustomed to abiding by the norms and controls required in governance.
His departure raises questions about the future direction of the IGJ and the oversight of the Argentine Football Association (AFA)'s financial management, particularly as his resignation aligns with demands for increased scrutiny over the AFA's accounts. This shift underscores the ongoing tensions between regulatory bodies and institutional authorities in Argentina.
