Agustín Lozano, president of the Peruvian Football Federation, was arrested on November 7, 2024, on accusations of corruption, fraud, and money laundering. Authorities allege Lozano and six other individuals attempted to seize control of Peruvian top-flight football rights from local clubs. The investigation indicates that clubs refusing to comply with Lozano’s demands were threatened with relegation to the second-tier league. Prior to his arrest, Lozano was under investigation regarding the alleged misappropriation of approximately 1.6 million euros from the Peruvian treasury before the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Furthermore, authorities suspect Lozano utilized 142 individuals not affiliated with the association in the decisive play-off match against Australia. Law enforcement ordered Lozano’s arrest due to concerns he might evade justice, complicating the ongoing investigation. This arrest follows previous scrutiny of Lozano, and notably, the prior investigation involving his predecessor, Edwin Oviedo Picchot, who was suspected of involvement in two murders in 2018 before being released.
