Over in the middle of the scandal Corruption complaints involving Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia and Pablo Tovigginowarned the head of the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) this Saturday in view of the refusal to provide information about their balance sheets could ask the government for the intervention of the AFA and announced that they would consider appointing an informant “The Secret Numbers” of the being.
“We can ask the Ministry of Justice to intervene,” said Daniel Vítolo, head of the IGJ, bluntly when asked what this organization could do if the AFA sticks to its position of not publishing the figures.
In any case, he immediately stated: “There are currently neither talks nor a stage in which direct intervention by the AFA is being considered.
“If there is some level of intervention, it will in no way have anything to do with the administration or football, it will be a specific thing.” the naming of an informant to open these secret numbers that the AFA has,” noted Vítolo in an interview with Radio RivadaviTo.
In addition, he announced that they would summon the auditors who certified the AFA’s accounts to substantiate the figures they approved.
“We will ask you: ‘Gentlemen, if you signed in these years and said that this is correct, for example that in 2024 there will be $44 million in national team spending and you say that it is OK, Tell us how you came up with this number‘” Vitolo said as an example.
And he cited another similar case: “Or that there are $17 million in administrative costs, well, you explain.”
In this sense, he assured that from the AFA they are not asking “things that the people they persecute ask, but basic things. And they asked themselves eight years ago, but so far no one has done anything.”
“And when we wanted to do it, they moved to Buenos Aires province and disappeared,” he concluded, referring to the AFA’s decision to change its jurisdiction.
A few days ago, Vitolo himself spoke about the discrepancies in the AFA’s accounting that would prevent the organization that governs Argentine football from transferring its jurisdiction to the province.
He explained that in order to bring about the change in jurisdiction, he must reform the law establishing jurisdiction, complete the procedures before the jurisdiction in which he wants to go, and when this process is completed, it must be confirmed by the IGJ. Then, after you are registered in the new jurisdiction, you will need to come to Capital Federal to deregister.
“If they want to go to Buenos Aires province to start a new life and leave this there without anyone thinking about it, that will not happen,” he said.
