Argentine justice is investigating a series of payments made by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) to a company linked to a mansion in Pilar attributed to treasurer Pablo Toviggino, as part of a case over alleged financial irregularities. As reported by the ClarÃn newspaper, the AFA may have paid around 415 million pesos to the firm Real Central SRL for 'logistics and transfer services', with these operations now under judicial analysis. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), several of these payment orders were authorized by Toviggino himself and received by businessman Luciano Pantano, who is linked to the society listed as the property's owner. The company in question is registered as the owner of a luxury mansion located in Pilar, valued at several million dollars, the origin of its funds and real ownership of which are also under investigation by the judiciary. Investigators are analyzing whether there was a possible circuit of irregular payments or maneuvers incompatible with the administration of the entity's funds, in a case that includes raids and the seizure of documentation at the AFA headquarters.
