Barcelona "have not committed any crime" or tried to "obtain some type of sporting advantage," the club's president Joan Laporta said Monday amid investigations into payments made to a former refereeing chief.
“Obviously referees were not bought and there was no attempt to influence their decisions,” Laporta told a press conference called to discuss the affair at the club’s Camp Nou stadium. Barcelona ceased its payments in 2018 due to Negreira’s departure from the CTA, according to Spanish prosecutors. Barcelona have argued the payments were for advice from referees and other services, a position reaffirmed by Laporta who said they were all legal and documented.
