F<\/span>Former Barcelona legend Andrus Iniesta has been charged with aggravated fraud in Peru as authorities investigate failed sports and music events promoted under companies linked to the 2010 World Cup winner.<\/p>\n The Peruvian public prosecutor’s office has launched a preliminary investigation following complaints from Gucho Entertainment SAC and several local investors, who claim they have poured about $600,000 into projects backed by NSN Barcelona, \u200b\u200bof which Iniesta is chairman, and its South American subsidiary NSN Sudamrica.<\/p>\n According to official documents, Iniesta used his global prestige to persuade Peruvian businessmen to invest in major events such as international friendly soccer matches and K-pop festivals. Authorities claim these events were arranged and promised between NSN Barcelona and its local branch. Most never made it back to life.<\/p>\n Only the Upa Upa Fest took place, and prosecutors claim the event caused huge financial losses and canceled all other commitments, including a legendary match between former stars of Peru and Spain and a friendly between Cienciano and Nacional de Quito.<\/p>\n 23 years ago, Andrus Iniesta made his debut for Barcelona. <\/p>\n magic <\/p>\n (via @ChampionsLeague) pic.twitter.com\/nA3ZN214ry<\/p>\n ?

NSN Sudamrika was later declared bankrupt and placed in liquidation with no accounting for the funds.<\/p>\n Iniesta is under investigation along with Paul Valderrama Rubio and Carlos Gumez Pintor, who are accused of authorizing and managing the company’s expansion into Peru. Authorities are currently trying to trace the missing funds and assess possible corporate wrongdoing.<\/p>\n |Andrus Iniesta, Acusado de estafa en Per.
