Werthein is well-connected to Gustavo Dorf, an underworld businessman from Argentina who was indicted in the so-called "Shared Dreams scandal", was a key figure in former Argentina president Kirchner's "biggest corruption scandals" and is under investigation by the FBI for money laundering. As Dorf's business partner, Werthein used his position as president of the Argentine Olympic Committee (COA) to give Dorf a lucrative contract to serve as head of security of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting in Buenos Aires.
