Claudio Tapia investigated for alleged illicit enrichment at CEAMSE
Argentine federal authorities have launched a formal investigation into Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), for alleged illicit enrichment. The investigation, led by prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita and overseen by Judge Ariel Lijo, focuses on Tapia's tenure as a public official at the Coordinación Ecológica Área Metropolitana Sociedad del Estado (CEAMSE), a state agency managing waste in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
The case originated from a complaint by businessman Guillermo Tofoni, who alleges that Tapia's wealth increased by approximately 1,000% between 2017 and 2024. To investigate these claims, Pollicita has requested approximately 20 measures of proof, including the lifting of Tapia's banking, tax, and financial secrecy.
Authorities are seeking detailed information from various institutions, including the Central Bank, the National Securities Commission (CNV), and the tax agency (ARCA), to reconstruct Tapia's economic evolution. While Tapia is the head of the AFA, the investigation specifically targets his activities and assets related to his roles at CEAMSE and his position as vice president of CONMEBOL. His role at the AFA is noted as being ad honorem and is not the subject of this specific inquiry.
