The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched an investigation into the Argentine Football Association (AFA) over allegations of possible money laundering involving its financial operations in the United States. Investigators are examining how hundreds of millions of dollars linked to AFA commercial agreements were transferred through U.S. banks and whether any transactions violated federal laws. The probe reportedly focuses on AFA president Claudio Tapia, senior officials, and a Florida-based company that managed overseas sponsorship deals. Authorities have not filed criminal charges, and the investigation remains ongoing as Argentina continues its FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign. (PC: X)
