Agustín Flah resigned as Argentina's representative to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on 26 August 2026, after holding the position for only four months. The justice ministry and judicial sources provide differing accounts of the reason for his departure. Flah, a lawyer with over 25 years of experience in money-laundering prevention, took the role in March 2026 when Juan Bautista Mahiques became justice minister.
In addition to the FATF representative position, Flah also coordinated Argentina's participation in the Grupo de Acción Financiera de Latinoamérica (GAFILAT), the regional body. He served as the country's delegate to the FATF global network meeting in Paris in mid-June 2026. Flah announced his resignation on social media, and the justice ministry confirmed the decision.
He will continue working under Mahiques as an adviser but has not yet named a successor. No formal exit process has been documented. The FATF is an intergovernmental body established in 1989 by the G-7 countries to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. Argentina has been a full member since 2000.
