Federal judge Adrián Gonzalez Charvay has ordered a raid on the headquarters of the Directorate of Legal Persons in the province of Buenos Aires as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering activities connected to the Argentine Football Association (AFA). This operation aims to uncover documentation regarding a mansion located in Pilar and to examine financial statements from 2017 until 2025, confirming that law enforcement was acting on judicial leads.

On Tuesday, police officers collected various documents from the central office located at the intersection of 6 and 48 in La Plata. The investigation is significantly focused on the request from AFA president Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia concerning the relocation of the organization, amidst a backdrop of financial opacity and political maneuvering in Argentine football governance. The move has triggered further scrutiny involving issues of accountability and the integrity of the AFA’s financial dealings.

The General Inspectorate of Justice, previously directed by Daniel Vítolo, sought financial records from AFA for the years 2024 to 2025, but the AFA initially resisted this request. It later provided some documents to another government body led by Axel Kicillof, indicating a complex interplay between legal accountability and political protection in this ongoing investigation into corruption within Argentine football.
