New revelations continue to emerge surrounding Caso Negreira, following confirmation of Spanish prosecutors’ intent to charge Barcelona with “continuous sporting corruption”, which was confirmed last week.
Barcelona claim that they paid Enriquez Negreira, former Vice President of the Referee’s Committee, for scouting reports and reports on particular referees which were used by the first team in order to better manage them on the pitch.
The first example of these reports has been leaked, as per Libertad Digital. The letters were seized following a home search of former Barcelona director Josep Contreras, who died in December.
The reports, titled as “confidential arbitration reports”, were typically two to three pages long, and were strewn with spelling mistakes. One example shown was for the match between Barcelona and Mallorca in 2012, which was refereed by Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva.
The report focused of personal data on Iglesias Villanueva surrounding his record for Barcelona and Mallorca, while a personal profile was also listed.
Barcelona President Joan Laporta has maintained the club’s innocence throughout the process, and he is in the process of conducting an internal investigation on El Caso Negreira.

Yes
It’s a bit rough, “If we don't have a deal, all the irregularities I have known and experienced at first hand in relation to the club will come out, and I can prove them.” The fax is even longer, and implies a whole lot more. It’s a full article in itself. I’m surprised AF hasn’t published it.

This started before Bartomeu. Laporta increased Negreira’s pay during his first term. Are you saying Bartomeu is the one who leaked this information to the tax authorities ?
most of the controversies and corruption that happened in barca was done by bartomeu that's what I meant

Agreed. But it’s shocking that no team has said so yet.

This is just a smear campaign from other anti-Catalonia groups. If Barca leaves la liga, the league will literally just be Ligue 1 or even worse.
It’s worked out for Bayern Munich and PSG.

Well it doesn’t explain the fax from the referee official, that clearly indicates he believes he was being bribed for silence. And it doesn’t suggest that the reports were the ONLY thing that was provided. Not sure why you consider as favoritism. But Barca winning La Liga as frequently as they have. And not knowing in what ways referees may have influenced that. That is the questions. I think simple people think referees only influence marches through penalties awarded or red cards given.

The reports may also equally not have involved anything else and there’s no reason to see otherwise. When we could all see there was barely any favouritism. Yet we choose to assume the worst

True. But if it comes to light that other clubs actually paid Negreira for the same sporting reports, then we would be vindicated. Until then we are all watching as it unfolds together

Not quite. A report doesn’t explain Negreira’s fax. Just like it’s unsure if Negreira was paid cash outside of the payments to his LLC. The reports may have been inclusive of other services.

We are still waiting. Barca or rather Laporta has stated a position. He’s alluded to Tebas Bias, that the practice is common (albeit with former/non active officials) and that other clubs also paid Negreira. Those are hardly defenses…

This only suggest that reports were sent… It doesn’t negate referee bribery.

It only means that reports were sent, It doesn’t suggest it was in lieu of referee influencing. It does also suggest Barca was still breaking rules by hiring an active official. But that’s a far less serious crime than actual bribery.

Barca should be able to sue for defamation trashing their name and accusing them of these false allegations.
This doesn’t immediately disprove. But it helps. Negreira’s fax still needs to be explained. And Barca may still be punished for hiring an active official.
