The judge in the Negreira case, Joaquín Aguirre, has asked the Barcelona Football Club to send him a list with the name of all the presidents of the institution during the years that they were paying the vice president of the referees José María Enríquez Negreira in exchange for a deal favor in the Federation. According to the provision to which El Confidencial has had access, it affects the presidents Joan Gaspart (2001-2003), Joan Laporta (2003-2010), Sandro Rosell (2010-2014) and Josep María Bartomeu (2014-2020)..

“Realized; In view of the status of the proceedings, Football Club Barcelona is required, through its procedural representation in the proceedings, to provide this Court with a list of presidents of FC Barcelona from the year 2001 to the year 2018, within 5 days. , indicating the date of taking possession and dismissal,” says the document from the Court of Instruction number One of Barcelona signed this Thursday..

This request occurs on the same day that the judge has issued an order that takes the Negreira case to a new dimension and in which he charges the club itself as a legal entity with an alleged crime of bribery.. According to the judge's resolution advanced by this newspaper, “it is clear that the payments made to the Enríquez Negreira family were for them to carry out acts related to their position, either due to their influence with other members of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA ) in charge of appointing the referees, either because he rated the referees, conditioning their promotion or relegation, or because of his general influence as vice president and the ascendancy over other members of the CTA, which he surely must have had if he was retained in the position for 25 years”.

In this ruling, the magistrate also asks the Barcelona Football Club to indicate the positions and functions carried out by the accused Alberto Soler and Oscar Grau, “with mention of the date of possession and dismissal, describing the exact functions of the position and indicating the regulatory support club internal. In addition to Soler and Grau, the former Barça presidents Rosell and Bartomeu, Negreira and his son are also being investigated in the case.. They were indirectly accused of corruption between individuals in the sports field, falsification of commercial documents and unfair administration.. Now the judge also asks for information about the era of Gaspart and Laporta, who returned to the culé box in 2020 until today.
