Argentina championship suspended due to corruption scandal

It has been reported that the Argentina football championship will be suspended for one week. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This decision was made due to a corruption scandal surrounding the country's football federation. Specifically, the matches of the 9th round are planned to be held later.

This information was reported based on the source euro-football.ru. At the same time, the matches of the 7th and 8th rounds will be held according to the original schedule.

The 9th round matches were supposed to take place from March 5 to 8. However, on March 5, the president of the Argentina Football Association (AFA), Claudio Tapia, is expected to appear before a tribunal regarding corruption issues.

According to the publication Derbyderbyderby.it, former players and federation employees are suspected of tax evasion amounting to 19 billion pesos (around 12 million euros) through an illegal scheme related to pension payments. Additionally, there are suspicions that the federation's systems may have been involved in illegal activities such as money laundering.

For this reason, the country's football has been temporarily paused.
