Última modificación October 3, 2023 by Drafting Fesp
We are living in more than turbulent times within Spanish football since everything related to the now famous "Negreira Case". The shadow of referee corruption, that before I only planned on the FC Barcelona, seems to extend now also over the Real Madrid.
This has happened following the statements of the well-known Jose Manuel Villarejo, Spanish businessman and former commissioner of the National Police Corps, together with the journalist Jordi Basté in 'RAC 1'.
Villarejo relates Florentino to the ‘Negreira Case’
Both had an interview in which they talked about many topics, Among them they spoke of the alleged attempt by Barça for obtaining arbitration favors through negreira. In this sense, Villarejo made it clear that he was aware that Florentino Pérez, president of Madrid, I had also tried similar actions previously:
“Florentino Pérez He already bribed referees before he did it Barça“, asserted. Further, The former commissioner made it clear that none of this would come to light because Florentine is “untouchable”:
“It is impossible to prosecute anything that affects Florentino Pérez. He who dared to denounce Florentine I would be suicidal”.
Sandro Rossell breaks his silence
A few hours after the bombshell that was the words of Villarejo, Sandro Rosell, one of the former presidents of FC Barcelona investigated for making payments to negreira during his tenure at the head of the culé club, he broke his silence about this issue in an interview on Catalunya Ràdio:
“It has become a huge ball, like every four or five years it happens in the Barça. cases come out. The thing about the boys from La Masía came out, then the 'Villarato', Now this…, and in a few years another one will come out, because this is historical. Nobody has analyzed that if we paid a few 400.000 euros per year, a few ago 100 reports, what would be some 4.000 euros per match report. 4.000 euros for a referee report that can save you from a yellow card or a penalty”, pointed to a Rosell who also admits that he knew who he was negreira:
“Of course I knew who he was., It was the man who made the arbitration reports in the Barça lifelong. Reports that would only be missing if they were not made, any big team in the world makes arbitration reports, just missing. It is an essential piece in the game that you must know how it will act. I was aware that we had a person who made reports, I found out about the payments and figures now when the case came out. These are payments that were below what the board approved, which were from 100.000 euros per month and these were 40.000. I don't know who signed it because it was a historic supplier that passed between presidents like hundreds of suppliers.”.
