The Argentine Football Association (AFA) and its president, Claudio Tapia, are reportedly under investigation by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Justice over alleged financial irregularities.
According to Goal.com, investigators are examining more than US$300 million that allegedly passed through U.S. banks during the FIFA World Cup, seeking to establish whether the funds were linked to fraud or money laundering.
The investigation is also focusing on the relationship between the AFA and TourProdEnter LLC, particularly financial transactions processed through Citibank, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase.
Despite the ongoing probe, no formal criminal charges have been filed against the AFA, Claudio Tapia or any other individual.
Authorities are reportedly continuing to gather evidence as investigations remain underway.
