 | Laporta on the Negreira case: I am convinced that Barça will be acquitted. All court decisions make it clear that we did not bribe the arbitrators. You should pay attention to what Real TV is doing13-04-2026 |
Joan Laporta: I`m sure Barcelona will be acquitted in the Negreira case. Barcelona President Joan Laporta has spoken out about Negreira`s case.
Recall that in 2023, Barcelona and its management were charged with bribery in payments to the former vice-president of the technical committee of referees (CTA), Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, who worked for the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The court considered the payment of several million euros to Negreira from Barcelona between 2001 and 2018 a crime. Several people involved in the case recently testified in court, including Negreira`s son, Javier Henriques, and former Barcelona presidents Sandro Rosell and Josep Bartomeu.
This will continue until the judge decides to end it. We are involved in a lawsuit and all the decisions make it clear that Barca did not bribe the judges and did nothing wrong. Other private accusations do not provide any convincing evidence. If new evidence emerges, this process will need to be extended. All this led to a delay in the judge`s decision.
We were called guilty before we even appeared in court. I am convinced that Barça will eventually be vindicated. There are people who are interested in seeing this continue. They continue to claim that Barca won thanks to the referees, which is a lie. In the 72 years of its existence, the judging committee has always included Real Madrid. Real Madrid have a lot of power and we like it when we win. These victories have added value.
Javier Tebas said that Real Madrid is trying to influence [the judges] through their channel. Perhaps we should pay attention to what Real Madrid television is doing, ” Laporta said.
