Dossier published that links I3 Ventures to Barcelona social media accounts

Barcelona were at the centre of another storm on Monday as reports emerged that claimed they contracted I3 Ventures to publish social media posts that attacked current and former players, as well as other club legends.

Later on Monday night, a 36-page document was brought up on Spanish radio, with this dossier appearing to prove that I3 Ventures are behind the social media accounts in question.

The dossier was discussed on Cadena SER, the same radio station that first broke the original story, and it is signed by 'Nicestream'.

It shows the activity of the six accounts, data which can only be accessed by the administrator of those accounts.

The station also mentioned the Facebook page 'Respeto y Deporte', which it says is associated with I3 Ventures.

It's worth remembering that both I3 Ventures and Barcelona denied the original information published by Cadena Ser and that Barcelona stated that I3 Ventures had no connection with the accounts, even threatening legal action.

"I3 Ventures, a service provider to the club, has no relationship with the accounts mentioned and, if any relationship were to come to light, the club would immediately end their contractual agreement and bring about any necessary legal action to defend their interests," the statement said.

I3 Ventures themselves stated that they had no such agreement with the Catalan club.

Those claims, though, are now thrown into doubt by these recently published documents.
