Argentina Football Officials Questioned in U.S. Money-Laundering Probe, AFA Denies Summons
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) denied reports that its president Claudio Tapia and treasurer Pablo Toviggino were summoned by U.S. courts or had their devices seized amid a money-laundering investigation. While FBI agents questioned both officials for about 30 minutes at New York's JFK Airport as the team prepared to depart after the World Cup, the AFA stated neither was formally targeted. Authorities are investigating over $300 million in commercial contracts linked to Argentine football, with a third party subpoenaed to provide evidence.
