Why is FBI investigating Argentina

[David5420]

Thanks for the info, very helpful.

[Graceland003]

Because they said Argentina national team is involved in a money laundering activity worth about $300M 

[Willkesh]

It should be base on the financial activities going on in the national team

Let's see

yaaaa bby

My cousin works compliance at a mid size bank and he said they flag SWIFT transfers from Argentine clubs all the time, apparently the fees on player transfers sometimes go to random shell accounts that trigger automatic red flags.

It's been long due

I remember a friend who worked in compliance at a US bank freaking out over a single wire transfer from buenos aires that triggered like 5 automated flags instantly. once that dollar touches new york they just follow it back like a dog with a scent.

I remember a similar thing happened with a supplier we used in Chile years ago, FBI got involved just becuase a single payment routed through a bank in Miami. Onnce those dollar transactions hit the US system it’s like they can't help but poke around.

ngl sounds fake af bro, imma wait till teh real story drops ?

[sophienne]

yeah the OP sounds jsut as lost as i am lol but honestly it's probably something as boring as some shady wire transfer that touched a miami bank account, they just follow the paper trail wherever it leads

I remmeber back in 2015 some friends in Buenos Aires had theeir bank accounts frozen overnight cause the feds traced a small shell company's wire transfer straight to miami, and suddenly the FBI was poking around their business like they owned the place

lol probably nothing serious, just wait and see ? fr

I don’t know why they do that

I see everyone jumping to the AFA money trail theory but the fbi has also looked into match fixing scandals in South America before, not always just bank wires. a weird defeat or sudden betting spike cold just as easily be the trigger here
