In recent years, the Negreira affair has caused ink in Spain. Indeed, FC Barcelona would be involved in a corruption scandal. The Catalan club would have paid more than 7.3 million euros to former referee José María Enriquez Negreira between 2001 and 2018 which would have given advice in exchange for the Iberian club. Several former leaders, including former presidents Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell, are in the sights of justice. Ditto for the current President of Curées, Joan Laporta.
According to Marcahe must testify before judge Alejandra Gil on December 12. His appearance should have taken place on November 25, but some lawyers were not available. Because Laporta will not be the only one heard that day. The former FCB, Ernesto Valverde and Luis Enrique coaches will also be questioned. The presence of the PSG coach is explained by the fact that he was on the Barça bench during the period studied. Justice will try to determine if Luis Enrique, just like Valverde, was aware of these reports on arbitration and if he had used it.
