Court number 2 in Criminal and Economic Matters raided the Argentine Football Association seeking information on eight transfers of player passes from Workshops from Córdoba. The “T” and its president Andres Fassi They are investigated for alleged money laundering.
As reported by D-Sports Radio, an alleged simulation of a sale carried out from Argentina abroad, which is operated with the official dollar, is being investigated.
From the court they carried out searches at the AFA since it is the regulatory entity and receives the documentation that is used in the transaction of the economic and federative rights of the players.
One of the sales being investigated is that of the Uruguayan Michael Santos, who was transferred, along with the Colombian Diego Valoyes, in August 2023 to the Juárez club in Mexico – where Fassi is sports president – and in July 2024 he returned to the country to dress Vélez’s shirt.
Who is Andrés Fassi and what is his relationship with Juárez de México.
The man from Córdoba, in addition to being president of Talleres de Córdoba since November 2014, has been in the leadership of Juárez since September 2023.
Since he arrived at the “T”, the 62-year-old man has been busy going from playing in Federal A, to the First Division and even in international tournaments. At the same time, he had a good strategy when it came to buying players who were not well known, at low prices, to sell them for very high figures – such as the Ecuadorian Piero Hincapié, the Paraguayan Ramón Sosa and the Colombian Valoyes.
This last time he was on everyone’s lips due to his confrontation with the AFA, especially with president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, due to the sale of Argentine soccer rights and the general organization of the association.
After the scandal with referee Andrés Merlos, Fassi asked Tapia for changes and was against the idea of reaching a 30-team tournament.
