Javier Tebas, President of La Liga, offered Barcelona fans the opportunity to sigh through the persistent “Negreira case” after clarifying the potential sanctions that could be used.
Barcelona was charged in 2023 for corruption sports companies after it was routinely associated with the former Vice President of the Spanish referee committee, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, to a company with the former vice president of the Spanish referee committee is connected, routinely corrupt became.
In return for these payments of around € 7 million, Barcelona is said to have received reports and videos about referees.
The examination to collect evidence has not yet been completed and no solution has been achieved, although La Liga wants the case to be heard in a courtroom.
But while Tebas is aiming for legal retaliation, he explained that this would be done in the form of financial punishments and not in the sporting. It means that Barcelona himself, if he was found to be guilty of misconduct, has not violently descended from La Liga as a punishment.
“I don’t do the sports laws; I have to comply with what is established,” said Tebas in an interview with The goal. “In this case, the limitation period for crimes is three years, and we cannot invent any other limitation period. For this reason, there would be no administrative descent.
“The scope of the sanction for the crime of corruption of sporting corruption has many nuances, and I will not be too much details. Dissolution of a company or trading company for financial penalties.”
Tebas also wanted to point out that there was no evidence that Barcelona bought individual referees, with sporting corruption for alleged business with Negreiras.
“What needs to be clarified is that the purchase of referees was not proven during this examination,” he said. What is clear is the payment of Negreira, and that is already corruption. But when you read or hear certain things, it seems as if you are exaggerated. “
