The Argentine government, through the Revenue and Customs Control Agency (ARCA), has accused the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and its president Claudio Tapia of the alleged misappropriation of taxes and social security resources amounting to 7.5 billion pesos. However, amidst this tension, the government clarifies that there is no personal animosity towards the organization. Minister of Justice Juan Bautista Mahiques has appointed auditors to oversee the financial audit of the AFA. He also expressed support for the creation of Sports Joint-Stock Societies, stating that each institution should have the option to decide its organizational structure. Meanwhile, the administration is considering a law to modernize regulations governing unions, non-governmental organizations, and community associations. The recent 'parallel diplomacy' incident, involving the AFA's role in securing the release of a detained gendarme, was poorly received and led to threats from the inner circle of President Javier Milei.
