Argentina has asked the United States for additional information about three citizens named last week by US justice department officials charged with racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering who had dealings with Grondona, referred to as co-conspirator #10 in the indictment. The tax agency, known as Afip and headed by Ricardo Echegaray, is seeking to collect back taxes for illegal payments.

Were going to investigate whichever families or partners we need to, people who have participated in irregular actions, Echegaray said at a press conference on Tuesday in Buenos Aires. The public prosecutor is already working on this.

Ex-Argentine soccer official found dead amid FIFA corruption trial
Nov. 15, 2017 -- A former Argentinian soccer official committed suicide -- the same day he was accused of taking bribes on the second day of a corruption trial in New York City.

Jorge Delhon was accused during testimony at trial Tuesday of accepting $500,000 a year from 2011 to 2014 to secure broadcasting rights to international soccer games. Delhon was found dead on railroad tracks in Buenos Aires. Officials believe he was hit by a train.

The 52-year-old attorney worked for Football For All, an Argentine government program which held broadcasting rights for national soccer games. Delhon's name was cited this week during the FIFA trial in New York City centering on Jose Maria Marin, the former head of Brazil's Football Confederation, Juan Ángel Napout, former Fifa vice-president and Manuel Braga, who led Peru's soccer federation.

Argentinian businessman Alejandro Burzaco arrives at Brooklyn Federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

One of the key witnesses in the case, Argentine sports marketing executive Alejandro Burzaco, was the one to name Delhon. Burzaco has already pleaded guilty to handing out millions of dollars in bribes.

A colleague of Delhon, Pablo Paladino, was also implicated, as was Julio Grondona, the long-time president of the Argentine Football Association. The former officials have been accused of taking bribes in exchange for lucrative broadcasting and hosting rights for major soccer tournaments.
