“the Argentine Football Association (AFA) confirms that it is no longer under our control because it has moved its address to the Province of Buenos Aires. This is what the AFC President himself said. Claudio Tapia. But it turns out that this legal amendment was never submitted to the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) for verification, which means it is invalid. They operate as if they were an association under the supervision of the Province of Buenos Aires when they are still registered with the IGJ. “They did not issue a release order, they did not prove that they were registered with the county and what they did was move to an area they considered more friendly to continue violating the law without telling them anything.”
In the departure hall of Jorge Newbery International Airport, where he waits to embark on the flight to Cordoba, Daniel Vitolo -Sahib IGJ– He reaffirms what he said a few days ago in an interview with TN for the program Only one course. He is dropping bomb after bomb as the mother house of Argentine football and the leadership headed by Tapia are being targeted, an easy target for football fans who discredit the thirty-team tournament and a management they consider suspicious, in particular with the unprecedented sanction against Estudiantes de la Plata and its president Juan Sebastian Veron for the institutional decision to make the corridor behind him to Rosario Central.
Vitolo explained: “Through press news, he learned that the AFA says that it has changed its address to the Province of Buenos Aires and that it is under the supervision of the authorities of the Directorate of Legal Entities of the Province, but the truth is that there is no record of this change, so for the General Inspectorate of Justice it is still under our jurisdiction. What they are saying is very strange.” Clarion. The question then falls with applause. How could the NFL, if it was already registered under another jurisdiction, be able to avoid oversight mechanisms in a way that might get it into some jurisdictional trouble?
“There has been a very significant delay in recent years with NGOs, foundations and commercial companies not submitting their balance sheets or doing so late. We (the current management of the IGJ) We came to perform our duties almost two years ago and found a significant delay, so we identified the entities that were owed financial statements and decided to implement the moratorium. “We’ll see what happens when they want to present the balance sheet in June next year.”, He detailed who arrived with him Javier Miley And be under a wing Mariano Cuneo LibaronaMinister of Justice. Previously, he recalled his first contact with the Argentine Football Association, when he declared that the early elections that led to Tapia’s re-election were “irregular and ineffective.”
Vitolo says that among those missing entities were several football clubs and the name Paracas Central soon emerged. He goes back to the previous explanation: “We did the analysis and there were many entities that had contingent debts for many years: Five, six, seven, eight, nine exercises. The status of Paracas Central? It has been ten years since I filed any balance sheet. Obviously it has been very difficult for these entities to catch up due to the cost of the forms and fines. For this reason, this year we established a moratorium which was finally postponed to June 30, 2026 after speaking with the Professional Council for Economic Sciences, which told us about the great consultation movement generated by the various entities to start preparing their financial statements.
Paracas are another common target of criticism, especially after a number of controversial referee rulings that led them, thanks to a good team led by Ruben Dario Insoa, to the Copa Sudamericana 2026. However, the Inspector General of Justice admits that there are several clubs in the same situation. “It makes noise because Paracas Central and the president of the AFC are linked to this club, but there are many in the same situation. He added in this regard: “The International Federation of Japan can demand that they submit balance sheets, although it is the clubs’ responsibility to do so, but until now there has been a very lenient view of all this, and there has been no real follow-up to the issue in recent years.”
And then explain How it works “Today they are looking for tools to make them comply. If you catch a club owed ten years and impose fines on it, it will never provide a balance sheet. In other words, we make it easier for them to provide the ten years. If they do not do so after receiving these facilities, we will apply the penalties.”
