Prominent footballer of Barcelona and the national team of Spain Andres Iniesta found himself at the center of a criminal investigation in Peru. As reported by El Espanol, the local prosecutor's office suspects him of possible involvement in the Shakhrai scheme, which could bring investors profits worth over 600 thousand dollars.

According to the investigation, the company Never Say Never and the Peruvian branch of NSN Sudamerica received money for organizing football and music events. However, most of the planned events were not carried out, and investors did not withdraw their funds..

Among the projects that have not been completed are the Upa Upa Fest, a friendly match between Peru and Ecuador, the K-Pop Music Fest and a group of veteran national teams of Peru and Spain.

A single visit will also end in financial losses.

At the end of 2024, the company NSN Sudamerica announced bankruptcy and began the liquidation procedure. The prosecutor's office states that the investment was used as a guarantee to attract investors, but there was no clarity in the management of finances.

The investigation is trivial. If suspicions are confirmed, the investigator may be threatened with both legal and serious reputational consequences.
