Trouble continues for the president of the Argentine Football Federation, Claudio Tapia. As the World Cup enters its final stages, the FBI and attorneys general have launched investigations into the businesses of his company TourProdEnter LLC in the US.
Two sources with direct knowledge of these investigations confirmed to the daily 'La Nacion' that federal prosecutors and FBI agents have begun questioning witnesses about the financial operations of the Argentine Football Federation in the United States.
According to this daily, Justice Department investigators are seeking to understand how the company run by the AFA president operated and how it moved over $300 million through a financial system, and whether any of these operations may have constituted a crime committed in North American jurisdiction.
FBI agents met with entrepreneur Guillermo Tofoni in a video conference on the Zoon platform, analyzing whether certain operations linked to the Argentine Football Federation could constitute crimes such as money laundering or fraud through the American banking system.
The investigation was launched in 2025 by 3 attorneys general; Patrick Gushue and Christopher Ting, in Washington DC, and Mikael Berger, in the Southern District of Florida.
Attention turned to the company when it took on the role of collection agent for contracts that the Argentine Football Federation signed with sponsors and other companies.
TourProdEnter LLC functioned as a collection vehicle for AFA's international contracts, channeling hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from multinational companies such as Adidas (US$60 million) and Warner (US$40 million).
