According to the document from the Public Ministry, "the alleged criminal organization in its criminal actions did not communicate the real administrative, economic, and financial situation of the Peruvian Football Federation to the members that make up its Assembly of Bases".

Amounts of money

Likewise, the "alleged criminal organization used the Peruvian Football Federation to distribute different amounts of money to some professional soccer clubs from the first and second divisions and to departmental soccer clubs in order to pay their obligations and debts" RPP reports.

The Prosecutor's Office's official document also states that Agustín Lozano "supposedly committed the crime of fraud in the administration of a legal entity" because in 2020 he allegedly misused the economic resources of the same, having illegally approved payments.

Without being audited
