Lthe great unknown in this whole Negreira case is What did Barcelona buy over the years with the payment of 7.5 million of euros to the companies of the former vice president of the Technical College of Referees and his son. It is evident that there were arbitration reports as is clearly reflected in the summary of this process and as this newspaper has already reported. However, that amount of money far exceeds the value of those reports and the recording of some videos as is also accredited.
Laporta: “In the short term they want to destabilize the team and in the medium term they want to stay with Barcelona”
Likewise, the purchase of matches through the referees must be ruled out. Although there is much speculation about it in some media, the reality is that there is no proof of it. In fact, the Prosecutor’s Office in its complaint document acknowledges this.

-Inform or advise of any institutional visit of the RFEF or the CTA for the Club to maintain good institutional relations.
-Keep the Club informed of possible interests or disagreements between Federation and LFP (Professional Ftbol League), or describe candidates for president of LFP.”
