It is a Gulfstream G400 with registration LV-JQW.

He left the country in the middle of the year A scandal erupted over the origins of his wealth and his true ties to financier Ariel Vallejoby Sur Finances, examined by Money laundering in several court proceedings.

The trip in the Gulfstream G400 with two bathrooms, a bed environment and a stewardess always on board had a lot to offer cost half a million dollarsratified by Clarion Sources from the private aviation market who know all the details of this microworld of power. The company that rented him the jet is called Baires fly. This operation is not a crime. However, it stands out due to its diverse and suspicious thickness variables.

The company that rented Tapia, his favorite ship, is the same one that, as the prosecutor in the Spagnuolo case, Franco Picardi, has proven, issued fake invoicesin which trips are described that no one has ever taken before This helps those suspected of collecting bribes by selling drugs to the Federal Agency for the Disabled (ANDIS) to launder their money which is supposedly wrong.

The connection between the defendants in this case and Baires Fly was the businessman Sergio Mastropietroa manager with operational power in this company. It will be proven in court. Mastropietro is also the only partner he had in Argentina. Fred MachadoThe private jet broker in the United States and accused of large-scale drug trafficking has already been extradited to the northern country at the request of the North American federal judge.

In addition, the entity South Financeby Tapia’s friend Ariel Vallejo, searched in the ANDIS file and also in several operations at his headquarters by Judge Luis Armella, for opaque dealings with football clubs and with suspicion of money laundering, It was also the instrument by which the defendants in the Spagnuolo case transferred millions and millions of pesoss with the aim of hiding its true origin.

Vallejo stated several times that he was a friend of Tapia, that thanks to him he even put the name of his company in the cups of the Argentine Football League and that he even financed Barracas Central, the club where “El Chiqui” was born as a leader before reaching the top of FIFA.

¿Tapia knew nothing about the maneuvers of the private aviation company Baires Fly with those suspected of stealing money from disabled people? Did your friend Vallejo never tell you that the same defendants of serious crimes used his company to invest millions derived from possible corruption?

Tapia may not have known about either operation, but not after they became public. This happened before he embarked on the long journey on the Gulfstream G400 that just ended this Sunday with his return to Argentina.

Sources with extensive knowledge of what happens between jet rental companies and their customers were embarrassed by the questions they asked Clarion.

Not just because Tapia paid half a million dollars to travel on his favorite ship to the next World Cup draw in Washington on Friday, but because they say so He has been using this company’s aircraft for years.

In just eighteen months, Tapia Baires would have paid for Fly Around two and a half million dollars to travel on their luxury ships.

The scandal surrounding his flights on luxury jets, which cost millions of dollars each year, is a habit he cannot give up, although he has already been accused of behaving like a tycoon when traveling for his professional football commitments.

Now add those Duplicate evidence leading Baires Fly to possible money laundering from the ANDIS case and his documented ties to his favorite financier, Vallejo.

According to the documentation you accessed ClarionOn November 27, Tapia left Argentina on a Baires Fly ship. He left the San Fernando airport in Buenos Aires in a Lear 60 that he had rented from his favorite company, but during a stopover in Lima, Peru, he asked for change and asked to be sent the Gulfstream G400 that so fascinated him. That’s how it happened. This ship arrived in Lima and set off on November 30th with him on board, not to take him to the World Cup draw, but there Try to arrange a meeting with Leo Messi in Miamiand all this amid the scandal surrounding his true declared assets and fans’ anger that Rosario Central was declared champions of the annual First Division table only by a decision made by him and his entourage in the AFA.

On November 30, Tapia’s Gulfstream G400 landed at Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida, near the club and Messi’s home. “El Chiqui” tried to meet the soccer star to get a supportive photo from him in the midst of a crisis whose extent and consequences cannot be estimated. It wasn’t successful, or at least the image wasn’t distributed.

On December 4, Tapia traveled to Washington on his rented jet. A day later he was one of the protagonists of the draw for the next World Cup.

Before returning to Buenos Aires and without making any statements to the media about his political and legal regrets, Tapia returned to Miami with the intention of seeing Messi. On Saturday, December 6th, the Gulfstream landed back in Fort Lauderdale. On the same day, Messi and his team Inter Miami would become champions. “The Chiqui” I wouldn’t have gotten the meeting with him I expected. Or there was no photo together.

This Sunday, the AFA president got back on the jet and returned to Buenos Aires with a stopover in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

¿Who pays for these trips? absolute luxury for a football leader with bankrupt clubs while the company that owns Gulfstream is under complete suspicion; Just like your friend Vallejo’s financial firm, which is suspected of conducting money laundering operations? Unless it is the AFA bankruptcy that pays the rent for the plane. Strange.

A complaint was filed by the government, but especially at the urging of the Citizens’ Coalition MPs, to investigate Tapia’s true assets.

The head of the AFA, as already mentioned, is a civil servant since he heads the CEAMSE. According to his last wealth declaration, he earns around eight million pesos for this workwhich is crucial for environmental protection in the metropolitan region and which he can combine with his other sporting commitments. As Conmebol’s representative before FIFA, he declared his assets in the public document he receives 60 million pesos monthly. It has several houses. He paid them amounts many times higher than those stated.

But back to their salaries: Based on the average weekly change, “El Chiqui” earns about that much $45,000 all year round. In just a few days, he spent $500,000 round trip from the United States on the Gulfstream G400 he rented from Baires Fly. If he had always paid for this trip according to his declared assets, he would have spent almost a whole year on the wages.

Tapia is highly regarded for its adherence to the rules and controls applicable in the world of football. There would be no other explanation for the last job he was able to achieve in Zurich, the headquarters of FIFA. They appointed him president of the Football Rules Commission. The man responsible for enforcing the laws. Limited to this sport. And nothing more.
