Una coordinada \u201cmega-ola\u201d de allanamientos ha dejado al descubierto una presunta e importante red de lavado de dinero y evasi\u00f3n fiscal que involcra a clubes de f\u00fatbol de Argentina, Uruguay y Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alrededor de 150 allanamientos simult\u00e1neos que tuvieron lugar la semana pasada, estuvieron dirigidos a las oficinas de los principales clubes y representantes de los jugadores, las casas de los dirigentes de los clubes en Argentina, y las oficinas de cuatro instituciones financieras importantes, incluyendo el Royal Bank of Canada en Uruguay. Fuentes judiciales dijeron al diario La Naci\u00f3n<\/a> que las redadas descubrieron la \u201coficina central\u201d para el lavado de dinero en el f\u00fatbol argentino, habiendo presuntamente manipulado transferencias de millones de d\u00f3lares en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. Seg\u00fan La Naci\u00f3n, las oficinas pertenecen al Alhec Group, una compa\u00f1\u00eda financiera que opera en Argentina, Chile y Uruguay, y que ha manejado las ventas de muchos jugadores argentinos a clubes extranjeros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diez personas fueron detenidas en Argentina<\/a>, entre ellas dos funcionarios p\u00fablicos, uno de los cuales era el Inspector General de Control de Cambios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El uso de clubes de f\u00fatbol para lavar dinero no es un fen\u00f3meno nuevo en Latinoam\u00e9rica, siendo particularmente importante en Colombia durante los a\u00f1os ochenta, cuando los principales narcotraficantes compraban abiertamente sus equipos locales y sacaban a relucir sus rivalidades en el campo de juego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recientemente, una investigaci\u00f3n<\/a> sobre las finanzas del club bogotano, Santa Fe, condujo a los investigadores a Luis Agust\u00edn Caicedo Velandia, alias \u201cDon Lucho\u201d, un importante narcotraficante que vivi\u00f3 de inc\u00f3gnito en Buenos Aires, donde fue detenido en 2010. Desde entonces se ha sugerido que, junto a los hermanos \u00c1lvarez Meyendorff, Don Lucho lav\u00f3 hasta US$1,5 mil millones a trav\u00e9s de los clubes de f\u00fatbol colombianos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La operaci\u00f3n de la semana pasada parece ser la culminaci\u00f3n de una larga investigaci\u00f3n por parte de la Administraci\u00f3n Federal de Ingresos P\u00fablicos de Argentina, que el a\u00f1o pasado acus\u00f3 al futbolista argentino Jonathan Bottinelli de evasi\u00f3n de impuestos<\/a> a ra\u00edz de una transferencia sospechosa a otro equipo. M\u00e1s de 140 agentes han sido suspendidos<\/a> y el Alhec Group ha estado bajo investigaci\u00f3n desde el pasado mes de marzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lo que todav\u00eda no ha sido revelado es el volumen exacto de dinero que se investiga. La transferencia de Bottinelli involucr\u00f3 un dep\u00f3sito de US$1,7 millones a un banco de Miami, pero las tarifas de algunas de las otras transferencias que se investigan han sido m\u00e1s de diez veces esa cantidad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Una coordinada \u00abmega-ola\u00bb de allanamientos ha dejado al descubierto una presunta e importante red de lavado de dinero y evasi\u00f3n fiscal que involcra a clubes de f\u00fatbol de Argentina, Uruguay y Chile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":37888,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"newspack_content_restriction_is_exempt":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[428,417,431,427],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3847],"class_list":["post-5576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-argentina-pais","tag-futbol-y-crimen","tag-lavado-de-dinero","tag-uruguay-pais","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/futbol-argentino-en-el-centro-de-una-gran-red-de-lavado-de-dinero\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"F\u00fatbol argentino en el centro de una gran red de lavado de dinero","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/futbol-argentino-en-el-centro-de-una-gran-red-de-lavado-de-dinero\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/futbol-argentino-en-el-centro-de-una-gran-red-de-lavado-de-dinero\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/es-0d161c5ad5270c46efcfbba69988e02d.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/es-0d161c5ad5270c46efcfbba69988e02d.jpg?fit=280%2C169&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charles Parkinson"}],"creator":["Charles Parkinson"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["argentina","f\u00fatbol y crimen","lavado de dinero","uruguay"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-27T23:54:24Z","datePublished":"2017-03-27T23:54:24Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:31:28Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/es-0d161c5ad5270c46efcfbba69988e02d.jpg?fit=280%2C169&quality=100&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":297031,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/pcc-juega-sucio-futbol-portugues\/","url_meta":{"origin":5576,"position":0},"title":"El PCC juega sucio en el f\u00fatbol portugu\u00e9s","author":"Mario Saiz","date":"29 de noviembre de 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"La posible conexi\u00f3n entre el PCC brasile\u00f1o y el f\u00fatbol portugu\u00e9s revela c\u00f3mo el deporte puede ser utilizado para actividades il\u00edcitas, incluyendo el lavado de dinero.","rel":"","context":"En \u00abNoticias\u00bb","block_context":{"text":"Noticias","link":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/category\/noticias\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Sede de la Federaci\u00f3n Portuguesa de F\u00fatbol.
