The war between Government and the AFA He doesn’t seem to want to go into winter quarters. The management of Javier Milei attacked, Claudio Tapia He resisted and challenged with a counterattack. The current president of the organization did not stop his project and demonstrated the power he holds: the Ordinary Assembly became the same and he was re-elected in charge of Argentine football. Now it is the turn of the General Inspection of Justicewho warned that the leader “disobeyed the IGJ resolution that declared the call for elections as irregular”.
In that sense, the head of the controlling body, Daniel Vitolostated that “Tapia’s early re-election process in the AFA has occurred illegally. They also committed the crime of judicial disobedience and improper corporate acts. The points discussed in the Assembly are null and void and we are going to take the appropriate legal actions in court.”.
Furthermore, the official warned that “Tapia’s actions expose him to serious sanctions that could jeopardize his continuity in office as President of the AFA.” “No one is above the law, Tapia and the rest of the leaders must respect the resolution of the IGJ,” he added.
Vítolo insisted that the result of the elections, in which “Chiqui” was the only candidate, will not be approved and that “what was resolved (in the Assembly) will not be registered with the IGJ, it will not be validated.”
“They are violating the law and the statute, and they also assume a risk: the members of the Board of Directors and the Assembly Members may incur the crime of disobedience, prescribed in article 239 of the Penal Code,” the official predicted.
The AFA Assembly had observers from the IGJ itself: the National Director of Civil Entities, Dr. Juan Carlos Pratesi, and the inspectors Mara López and Ariel Delgado.
What if the AFA is intervened?
Vitolo clarified today that the intervention of the AFA will not disaffiliate the teams that dispute the South American Cup (Racing and Lanús) and the Libertadores Cup of America (River Plate), and Argentine National Team of FIFA competitions.
The IGJ member explained that the intervention of the Argentine Football Association “will not impact the sport.”
In addition, he revealed that the Argentine organizing body must take measures based on what the law allows, otherwise it will be “sanctioned.”
The official said: “FIFA can only intervene in these issues to the extent that there is political interference, here there is no political issue, here it is an obligation of the law.”
“No one can make a decision regarding AFA because they like or don’t like the leader. If there is no violation of the law, there is no violation of the statute, no one is going to sanction them,” Vítolo stressed on Flavio Azzaro’s streaming program. .
