This is the controversy of the moment in Spain. The businessman and former high-ranking officer of the Spanish national police José Manuel Villarejo, thus revealed a small bombshell, in the middle of the Negreira affair. He thus accused Florentino Pérez of corrupting the referees, in an interview given to Catalan radio RAC1. “In a series of conversations, Sandro Rosell is singled out with other Catalan personalities linked to independence. I made the first arrangements and saw that he had nothing to do with the independence movement, that he was a lobbyist in the world of football. The only thing that was of some interest was that he had taken action regarding the issue of referees, to fix matches. All presidents have taken similar measures, including Florentino Pérez. In a way, at Real Madrid, before the Negreira case, the same thing had already been detected”he explained.
Real Madrid reacted quickly, announcing to file a complaint as quickly as possible. At the same time, the very sulphurous Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, took the opportunity to add another layer. “Florentino is untouchable. Everyone knows it in this country. It’s an objective fact.”there is nothing more to say, he said, confirming that according to him, the boss of Real Madrid will never be worried by anything.
