OFFICIAL: UEFA opens an investigation against FC Barcelona on Negreira case

UEFA has just published a press release announcing the opening of an investigation against FC Barcelona, mired in a corruption case in Spain.

Already under investigation by the Spanish courts for possible corruption, FC Barcelona is also at risk at European level. It is still this famous Negreira affair in question, with these millions paid to a former referee and member of the committee of referees, in exchange for reports on the arbitration. This is at least the version put forward by the Catalan management, while the Spanish justice seeks precisely to know if the Blaugranas have not benefited from other advantages.

UEFA has just taken up the matter in turn. “In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors have been appointed today to investigate a potential breach of the rules of the UEFA. 'UEFA by FC Barcelona in relation to the Negreira case', UEFA has just published in an official press release.
