REFEREE FAVORS FOR THE MERINGUES?
The ex-presidents of Barça defend the payments to Negreira 'charging' against Real Madrid
New information from the newspaper 'El Mundo' has revealed several private conversations between Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell in reference to payments to Enríquez Negreira
The novelties on the 'case Negreira' continue going out to the light and is again the newspaper 'The World' the one who adds information to the situation. This time have published in his edition of this different Tuesday private conversations with the ex-presidents of the FC Barcelona, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu, where justify about the payments effected to José María Enríquez Negreira.
Both exdirectivos Barcelona have defended in front of the indictments of the Fiscalía affirming that said payments were made in self-defense, since they were convinced that it existed a tendency in the referee's body to benefit to the Real Madrid in each day. This would go of the hand with the statements of Negreira to the Agency Tributaria in which it affirmed that the Barça wanted to achieve "neutrality" in the parties.
The Barça would not be the only in Spain
Added to this, so much Bartomeu like Rosell have sustained that these operations were kept a secret with varied of his directors to "protect them". In fact, the relation would not have broken before because the excolegiado loomed them with spreading false indictments and in the dispatches did not want that everything will comport to a scandal mediático.
Also the ancient Catalan mandators have insisted in that this type of payments "have carried them out other teams of First and of Second" and that at present is acting only against the Barcelona when it would be a widespread behaviour by all the balompié Spanish along the years.
"Not losing weight in the Federation"
Further of the conversations effected with the exejecutivos of the club, 'The World' does emphasis in a meeting occurred in 2004 between Joan Garpart and Joan Laporta, just a year after the current president of the Barcelona took the charge. This would have carried out in the hotel Avenue Palace of Barcelona with the aim of not losing presence inside the RFEF. "They were conversing during hours and spoke of the need of not losing weight in the Federation, in which Negreira was vice-president of the CTA. This same year, in 2004, Gaspart was appointed vice-president of institutional and international subjects of the Federation", ensured the newspaper.
