Argentina football exec barred from leaving country in tax probe

BUENOS AIRES: A court has barred the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) from leaving the country and summoned him to testify in a tax evasion case, according to the ruling cited by media Thursday. Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia was summoned to appear in court on March 5 over a complaint filed by Argentina’s ARCA tax collection agency over alleged tax evasion and misappropriation of social security funds. Other AFA executives were also slapped with a travel ban “in light of the seriousness of the events under investigation,” according to the summons.
