The orderly audit by Laporta afterwards to take possession of the charge like president begins to launch results and evidenciaron possible detours of bottoms for the "Espai Barça"
The project of the "Espai Barça", that covers so much the construction of a new Camp Nou as of a new Palau Barcelona, follows giving of what speak. In spite of that they still are missing the final conclusions of the auditorias that has commissioned the directive led by Joan Laporta to know the real state of the financial situation of the club and of the investments made for this project, the first indications aim to considerable detours of resources and presumptive irregular payments.
As it has been able to advance the Newspaper Ploughs, the board of Laporta already has begun to take the first measures. One of them has been the dismissal of the responsible of the division of resources of the 'Espai Barça', William T. Mannarelli.
The club considers to the executive like manager of several irregularities, between which would appear, a monthly payment of 120.000 euros by the contracting of external specialists to evaluate the project awarded in the 2016 to the dispatch of Japanese architects, Nikken Sekkei. From the current managerial board, as it explains the referred media, has given orders to review these payments, that received "five or six professionals".
In fact, the first indications aim to an important detour of money, taking into account the current prices of market in the initial budget of the project 'Espai Barça'. The real price of the investments made up to now would be around the 50 million euros, and no of the 109 that have appeared in the economic registers of the combined Barcelona up to now.
Besides, the audit that Laporta ordered has topado with a series of additional payments that never surpass the 200.000 euros not to have to go through the control of the Committee of Adjudications and that, therefore, would have remained out of the approval of the previous managerial board.
The executive destituido
Mannarelli Worked together with the ex vice-president Jordi Moix in the management of what went the start of the project of the 'Espai Barça'. To this drop joins him the nomination of Anna Aznar, that will assume the direction of the Social Area in replacement of Pere Jansá, the one who already was sacked days backwards.
Usually, these would be usual changes in a company that changes of managerial board and that would not have to have any transcendence, save by the information that has effected the half Spanish in question in his pages, ensuring that the dismissal of Mannarelli is due to presumptive irregularities with the project in question.
