Embezzlement at Barça? Bartomeu is once again at the center of the controversy

Josep María Bartomeu goes back to be topic of conversation in the City Condal. From his resignation like president of the Football Club Barcelona in 2020, has been investigating by presumptive economic irregularities during his stay in the club. Now it has gone out to the light information on a presumptive detour of bottoms of the club for his personal use.

According to the program 'That T'hi Jugues' of the 'Chain Be', that previously destapó the scandal of the 'Barcagate', have had access to a report of the Mossos d'Esquadra that suggests that the exmandatario Barcelona used an agreement with a company called Amalgamates Marketing, property of Miquel Sambola, to divert bottoms of the club. The officials attribute the union between the Catalan entity and the company of Sambola, no by professional services, but by the presumptive friendship that there is between Bartomeu and the already referred president of the company marketinera. It fits to stand out that in addition to this corporation, also signed agreements with other companies like Nicestream and the already known 'I3Ventures'.

What knows regarding this case?

In the radial space driven by the journalist Sique Rodríguez and Adria Soldevila, gave to know varied other details regarding this case. The report revealed that it Amalgamates Marketing invoiceed 84.000 euros by season until 2020, and paid him 152.000 euros in total by this agreement. Aunado To this, this corporation would have made punctual works between 2015 and 2020, such as the campaign by the Balloon of Gold of Leo Messi and by this obtained some 223.000 additional euros. In September of 2020, when the club had financial problems because of the pandemia, the ex-president of the Barça would have ordered to bend the payments to this company in particular during three months, to a mount of 15.000 euros.

As it reflects the investigation, 43% of the total of these payments diverted would have gone to the employer Josep Sanmartí, 29% to the journalist Marçal Llorente, 14% would go to Mique Sambola and 14% remaining would deliver between the journalists Albert Lesán and Albert of the Tower.
