FBI Opens Money-Laundering Investigation Into Argentine Football Association
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice are probing Argentine Football Association officials over financial transactions involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
- Federal prosecutors have taken statements from witnesses, including businessman Guillermo Tofoni, in a meeting held last week via video conference, according to La Nacion.
- The investigation focuses on how the association moved hundreds of millions of dollars through the US banking system, specifically examining whether transactions involved money laundering or fraud.
- A company called Tor Broad Enter LLC managed at least $260 million in association revenues across five US banks, with $57 million transferred without clear economic justification.
- The inquiry began taking shape in 2025, after the Argentine security ministry provided information to US officials in September 2024.
