The Barça club reacts strongly to the investigation by the newspaper La Vanguardia, which places the manager responsible for sending false evidence in the Negreira case, to hold Josep María Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell responsible.
The blows of the Negreira Affair do not stop. Today, quite rightly, a war has broken out in Spanish football. Barcelona publicly demand the departure of Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, whom an investigation published by the newspaper La Vanguardia places as responsible for having delivered false information to accuse two former helmsmen of the Catalan club: Josep María Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell.
“LaLiga president Javier Tebas sent a memorandum to the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the payments case to the Vice President of Arbitration, José María Enríquez Negreira , directly implicating two former Barca presidents, Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell, in alleged crimes of unfair administration and embezzlement, based on a handwritten document from a deceased former manager . The document was included in another different case, in the so-called Soule case which investigates the alleged embezzlement of funds from the Spanish Federation chaired by Ángel María Villar and in which the League appears as an accusation, ”says the aforementioned media.
“Thebes personally linked the names or surnames that appeared in this document directly with the two former presidents and from there he inferred that they could be involved in real estate transactions and movements in financial institutions and banks of investment. The problem is that the family of the deceased manager, Josep Contreras, has clarified the true identity of the people mentioned in the document and that they have nothing to do with the former presidents of Barca, as published in sports world And the vanguard“, he adds, by way of introduction, before giving more details.
The Blaugrana response
Barça reacted energetically. “Given the seriousness of the information published today, Monday, in the vanguard in which the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is bound as an executor in the presentation of false evidence before the Public Prosecutor’s Office to incriminate our Club, FC Barcelona wants to express its deep anger, indignation and weariness “, he replies, through a press release.
“For this reason, we urgently call on the president of LaLiga to appear publicly to offer explanations, beyond the tweet sent at dawn by Mr. Tebas, fleeing the studio and with a menacing patina. “, he adds.
“FC Barcelona, as President Joan Laporta said in recent weeks, feels victim of media lynching due to events that never happened: Barça never bought a referee yes,” he says.
The approach is, in its last point, much more concrete. “Solely for this fact, that of assigning himself functions that do not correspond to him, although also out of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas should resign from his position. . However, aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and overt antipathy towards our Club, we understand that the current LaLiga president will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our Club.”
