In the case of Paulo Tapia, he made the deposits in a personal capacity in the period between November 12, 2024 and January 8, 2025, with amounts totaling $ 299,756.

Between both Mexicans, they contributed the sum of $ 569,671.59. Additionally, the Federation detected Another international transfer that has no greater detailfor $ 106,248.53, and that completes the $ 675,000 that are subject to doubts.

These amounts are reflected in the bank accounts, data that according to the Federation had not been initially reported. In addition, according to the federative entity, there are inconsistencies between the account states (which reflect the bank movements) and the financial statements.

Mexican lender

On the other hand, in the financial statements received by the Federation on March 10, 2025, comes a long -term liabilities (debt) in favor of a person identified as Yesica Guerrero Olloquífor an amount of ¢185.000.000. The ADG delivered the states before a request from the licenses committee, to clarify doubts that had left other documents that presented on March 4.

In the original information, the liability was ¢ 114,041,659, so the Federation considered that the difference of ¢ 70,958,341 between some states and others was an inconsistency.

On this alleged lend, licenses explained: “Until that moment, This committee had no knowledge of Mrs. Guerrero Olloquí, nor her relationship with the club and is the first time her name arises without explanation by the club ”.

The committee also caught the attention that the difference of ¢ 70,958,341 appears in the new financial statements such as “other assets”, under the detail of “improvements to the stadium”, but without reporting what work they were done. This figure coincides exactly with the additional amount that Guerrero is supposedly owed.

“Likewise, it should be denoted that the liability departure in which the debt of Mrs. Yesica Guerrero Olloquí corresponds to a classification related to the nature of ‘partners’ is included without clarification in the entire document about the degree of relationship of the ‘lender’, being that, if it had been a third, the correct thing was its classification as a debt of ‘documents to pay to third parties’, added the FCRF.

Although BMG contributed money from November, until March 11 was that Guanacasteca -half of its financial statements – announced that the investment they gave came from the real estate business. According to the Federation’s documents, the ADG also omitted originally mentioning what Mrs. Guerrero’s relationship was with the club, who subsequently detailed it at an audience to which she was summoned.

“In testimonial audience, Mrs. Guerrero Olloquí clarifies that she is Jorge García’s wife, representative of BMG Group LLCand now indicates that the Origin of its funds comes from a security company in Mexicounlike the indicated (previously) that they come from their real estate businesses. It also indicates that he meets Paulo Iván Tapia as a son of a friend, but that he has nothing to do with the club, despite having sent $ 199,820 of his bank account, ”he argued the Federation.

The licensing committee found that all these inconsistencies constitute very serious anomalies and therefore decided to revoke the right of participation.

The case still continues to study by the Administrative Contentious Court.

This research led to the punishment towards the chorotegas for alleged financial and administrative irregularities and for not reporting an alleged change in administration, which is mandatory in football to guarantee the transparency of the money that enters this sport.
