Reports, tests, honor to the club... Laporta's brutal defense of Barça for the 'Negreira case'

The president of the FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, appeared in front of the media this Monday and after two hours in press conference left clear the posture of the FC Barcelona: there is not any crime. The maximum Barcelona mandator initiated with a statement, in which resumía the last weeks lived by the institution, which has been constantly attacked, still when the informations left clear which had been the reason of the payments to the exárbitro Enríquez Negreira.

"During the two months is suffering a tremenda campaign of desprestigio (the club). These informations and the conclusions do not have at all that see with the reality. The Barcelona has been a model of clean game. We are proud to having contributed to the sport", initiated Laporta in his speech. "The Barça has won during decades and follow winning thanks to the effort, to the talent of our players and players, technicians, workers and to our partners and fans, to the culés", wanted to highlight the Catalan president.

There will be problem in attacking to which have attacked

From the first moment, Laporta wanted to leave in evidence that from his Managerial Board try to contain many of the attacks mediáticos that direct to the club, something that besides has come increasing. Thus, the also lawyer mentioned that this "is the most fierce attack that is suffering the entity in his history. I ask to the barcelonistas, that keep us joined in the defence of the shield, of the foundational essence and in the model of property of partners and partners. I ask to the barcelonistas that are at the side of the club".

The press conference left sufficient time for everything and from his position of president, Laporta did not doubt in attacking to some parts that thinks that are not acting of the best way. The best example was his posture in front of the Real Madrid, as well as his declaracione on Javier Thebes and the press that has looked for desprestigiar to the club with the happen of the days.

A moment important of the appearance of Laporta arrived with a message of tranquility of the president culé for all the partners and fans. "The Barcelona has not committed any crime. The Case Negreira is not any crime of sportive corruption. They loaned some services that were documented. Therefore, I think that it remains clear that there was not any crime", resolved the 'presi'.

A work that has been done with clear intentions

The also Catalan employer has wanted to stand out equally that "the Barça would be victim and no responsible of any crime", this in the case that some of the involved have tried or been able to take advantage of of the situation to do some irregular action. "It is important to manifest it because inside the Fiscalía also seems that they work in this sense".

The defence of Joan Laporta has had several important points, and one has been the leave clear that from inside the club have worked with the greater possible transparency in reference with the 'case Negreira'. "From 2016, the Barça has a department of Compilance. What gives me confidence is that these professionals did his work. This department treats to detect possible irregular behaviours inside the entity. Under my presidency have reinforced this area following the marked lines by the most recent jurisprudence in this field. We have endowed to this area of more resources", finalised.

Precisely this department "has found cientos of reports and 43 videos, in addition to four reports of other subjects". All this would be part of the consultancys offered by the compañia of Enríquez Negreira and his son, in this case between the years 2014 and 2018. "I think that we would have to contextualise that it has been a work cuantioso fact by people qualified. When we do reference to pay to the exvicepresidente of the CTA, also is necessary to require. The prestador of the services was the son of Negreira. The vice-president of the CTA did not have capacity to alter sportive results. It could not designate referees and alter like this results. I insist, it says it the articulate 29 of the RFEF, this hypothesis that has created is false", resolved the president of the FC Barcelona.
