Calendar of FC Barcelona

Josep Maria Bartomeu, ex-president of the FC Barcelona, has desvelado to the public light a communiqué in which it pronounces on the indictments of the Mossos d'Esquadra by presumptive payments to journalists. In him it ensures that all would treat of "an erroneous and perverse interpretation between distinct people, journalists and executives".

It is important to stand out that the 'Chain BE' informed that the Mossos have presented a report in which they sustain that, so much Bartomeu like his Managerial Board, would have paid to third companies so that they paid to several journalists. This with the reason to defend him publicly and also attack to some members of the Barcelona staff and of the surroundings of the team.

However, the exmandatario heaved the voice in this regard to defend in front of the indictments. "Once again, I present a writing of allegations to the content of a new report of Mossos d'Esquadra signalling the existence of orderly payments by me to journalists with the end to defend me in front of the public opinion and, at the same time, criticise to other barcelonistas", aimed in the beginning of the text.

The rest of the communiqué

Bartomeu continued his defence ensuring that everything would be false conclusions against him. "The last report presented by Mossos in front of the Judged number 13 of Instruction of Barcelona tries to conclude, falsariamente, that, besides, allocated money from the FC Barcelona, under my presidency, to that third companies paid to determinate journalists by this same purpose to protect my reputation. Both conclusions are not some but an erroneous and perverse interpretation of conversations between different people, journalists and executives, of which deliver back suppositions and no irrefutable proofs", affirmed.

Finally, it finalised reiterating his innocence in front of the report. "I deny categorically that, by my order or with my consent, paid from the FC Barcelona to journalists with the purpose, or change, to defend the management or my person", concluded on the paper.
