New judicial evidence in the United States confirms that TourProdEnter, the company of Javier Faroni linked to the management of AFA funds abroad, paid for the rental of a luxury yacht used by Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia in Monaco in August 2024. The transfer, for almost $143,000, coincides with the dates when the president of the AFA was filmed aboard the Ocean 90 “Wyldcrest”, with cushions clearly displaying the logo of the nautical company.
