🚨‼️Summary of journalist Román Molina's segment on FIFA and AFA corruption 🇦🇷🤯
1️⃣ According to Molina, FIFA provided protection to AFA despite cases related to money laundering and embezzlement, in addition to U.S. investigations exceeding $300 million.
2️⃣ FIFA cleared the coach of the women's youth teams, Diego Guacci, of accusations of harassment and mistreatment of underage players, citing a lack of sufficient evidence.
3️⃣ Despite the players' request to guarantee the confidentiality of their identities before testifying, FIFA revealed the names of all the complainants, which Molina considers a serious violation of their protection.
4️⃣ According to him, AFA was aware of the accusations against Diego Guacci from the outset, yet took no action against him, allowing him to continue working with the youth teams.
5️⃣ The players described AFA internally as akin to a "mafia," stating that they feared reporting due to concerns about retaliation.
6️⃣ Just 9 days before Argentina's victory in the 2022 World Cup, AFA granted all its international commercial rights to a newly founded company in Miami with no experience in football.
7️⃣ FIFA transferred prize money funds directly to that private company, rather than sending them to AFA's accounts.
8️⃣ The company received a fixed 30% commission on all of AFA's external revenue, a rate that Molina describes as illogical and unprecedented.
9️⃣ Funds from FIFA, Adidas, sponsors, and broadcasting rights were distributed through various U.S. banks and then transferred to other interconnected companies to conceal the real beneficiaries.
🔟 Investigations revealed transfers of millions of dollars to shell companies, some owned by ordinary people who were bankrupt, in debt, or living in public housing.
1️⃣1️⃣ After receiving these transfers, these individuals vanished from their cities, changed their phone numbers, while neighbors noticed a sudden change in their lifestyle and wealth.
1️⃣2️⃣ Part of the funds, according to Molina, were used to purchase luxury properties, private planes, yachts, and even to finance activities unrelated to football, such as karting cars.
1️⃣3️⃣ The justice system also suspects that AFA officials personally benefited from these funds, including a luxury palace registered in the names of other people.
1️⃣4️⃣ Funds generated by the success of the Argentine national team were also used to assist in the acquisition of the Italian club Perugia through a network of interconnected companies in various countries.
1️⃣6️⃣ The contract with the Miami company was not temporary but extended until 2030, with full approval from AFA's Executive Committee.
1️⃣7️⃣ Molina believes FIFA ignored the financial irregularities despite being the entity responsible for annually auditing AFA's accounts.
1️⃣8️⃣ Molina accuses FIFA's legal director, Emilio García, of having close ties to AFA officials, and questions the impact on the course of the investigations.
1️⃣9️⃣ Journalists who uncovered these files suffered threats, defamation campaigns, and the revocation of some press credentials, in an attempt to silence them.
2️⃣0️⃣ Molina concludes that the problem is not limited to AFA but extends to FIFA itself, considering that the system enabled the continuation of corruption and the protection of those involved rather than holding them accountable.
🚨 Djed Spence was clearly fouled in the box but the VAR decided it wasn't a Penalty
However VAR gave Argentina a Penalty for an exact foul on Parades against Egypt
Why are the rules different for Argentina vs other teams !? 😱
🚨Andreas Iniesta on Argentina and Lionel Messi:
“It’s in shambles. It’s a whole mess. There was no way they were getting through Egypt. It was too clear. I think there’s something going on with them and FIFA. I love Leo. But I can’t protect him on this.”
How did people just believe Messi was the innocent nice guy because this bastard was scoring goals with his hand and celebrating it as if nothing had happened.
A cheat from day one.
