Gaspart insists on defending Barça about the 'Negreira case': "Nothing illegal was done"

The surrounding controversy to the 'case Negreira' follow generating opinions while the Fiscalía investigates the negotiations produced between the ex vice-president of the Committee of Referees and the FC Barcelona. The last that went back to refer to the scandal on the presumptive referee's helps that the group culé would have received during almost two decades was Joan Gaspart, president of the club between July of 2000 and February of 2003.

The also first vice-president blaugrana by 22 years ensured that "if the Barça contacts with the person that is not correct, although it was not any illegality, but that is not correct ethically, to the president asks him and, as to my no asked me , have to think that there was not at all", said with reference to the scandal while it was to charge of the club.

In an interview conceded to '8TV', the Catalan employer took advantage of to defend to his successors in the charge, even to Josep María Bartomeu. "The important is that the Barça is involved in a subject that I, personally, am convinced that in my period did not commit any illegality, and regarding the future, knowing to the characters like Laporta, Rosell or Bartomeu, do not think that the Barça did something illegal".

Previously, once it burst the scandal, Gaspart had fixed posture in the program 'The Crossbar' of 'Wave Zero'. "I have criticised a lot to the referees and put me fines for speaking on them... But of this, to have information to be able to win a party... The Barça has not done at all of what can embarrass the culés", said the ex mandator, today devoted to his personal businesses in the City Condal.

Gaspart Leaves clear that would not return to the club

On the possibility to launch again, in the future, to the presidency of the FC Barcelona, Joan Gaspart did not doubt in descartar this possibility. "I do not say that it was better neither worse. When they ask me if it would go back me to present say that no, because it would not vote me neither I same. Like culé and barcelonista consider that I was not a good president, surely was a correct vice-president, but no a good president and therefore I was me, did not go me because it wanted to", puntualizó the ex director.
