Judicial authorities uncovered suspicious financial activities involving Pablo Toviggino, including a fixed-term deposit of $2 million and questionable transactions linked to the Argentine Football Association (AFA).
Judicial authorities in Argentina have revealed that Servicios Lindor SRL, a company connected to Pablo Toviggino, the treasurer of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), has made a fixed-term deposit of approximately two million dollars for the years 2024 and 2025. This deposit is part of a broader investigation involving 15 suspicious financial and real estate operations, which reportedly include questionable invoicing practices. For instance, the company Segon SRL billed the AFA over 2 billion pesos for services, raising concerns about the legitimacy of these transactions.
Additionally, it was found that the AFA and the provincial and municipal governments of Santiago del Estero made payments to the local football league, which were followed by bank transfers to individuals connected to Toviggino's family network. These financial maneuvers have led to scrutiny regarding potential corruption and the misallocation of public funds in Argentinian football administration, especially in light of the significant profits that have arisen since Argentina's recent victory in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Toviggino family has reportedly expanded its land holdings significantly, acquiring about 10,000 hectares in Santiago del Estero, using legal mechanisms like usucapión, which enables the acquisition of property through prolonged possession. These developments have raised further questions about financial transparency and the potential misuse of economic resources within the sports sector in Argentina.
