    The Negreira case

    Tax Agency (to Negreira SENIOR) : If you only met 6 times a year and none of the reports you provided are written, why were Barcelona paying the amounts invoiced on this table? Negreira SENIOR : Because that way they were content that in the arbitration committee there were no decisions against...

    The Negreira case

    That's because his answer doesn't make sense. He adds something on to his answer which cant be corroborated and is impossible. How can you make a report every day about a referee for an upcoming game when the team plays once or twice a week? It makes no sense. There are not more than 20 or 30...

    The Negreira case

    He said it... not me... you see it there. 20 euros per match analysis is a good reference.

    The Negreira case

    Javier: The only services I have provided have been the preparation of arbitration reports through DASNIL. Tax Agency : Did the FCB know that you carried them out or did you think that your father did them? Javier: I knew I made them. Tax Agency : What value did these reports have? Javier...

    The Negreira case

    Made up 😂😂😂 The guy who is meant to have made these reports for Barca literally admitted they don't cost more than that.

    The Negreira case

    Reports they pay for are likely recorded and cost 10 or 20 euros a pop not 5 or 10 thousand for a 10 euro report which was the rate that Barca were paying. I'm assuming that's another thing that can just be explained away, after all, Barca probably just got scammed, that's why we paid thousands...

    The Negreira case

    They dont have to prove that it actually worked but they have to prove the intention of the payments was to corrupt him and cause him to favour them in decisions.

    The Negreira case

    Referee reports is technical advice. The content of reports was allegedly things like 'X referee is very strict on diving' 'X referee is lenient on small fouls and lets them play' the nature of it is technical advice which would need to be implemented by the technical staff to have any effect...

    The Negreira case

    There is little hard evidence that Barca definitely agreed this with him, but you would expect that, the club has said it was a completely verbal contract with no records of what was agreed. Circumstantial evidence is also admissible. That is, the amounts of money paid, the threatening letters...

    The Negreira case

    I agree that bribery is much easier to show and that is why they have gone for it. It is important to remember as well that it also carries a larger sentence therefore it makes sense all around. I don't agree at all with part bolded. It is a legal principle used often. As long as Barcelona on...

    The Negreira case

    Legally it makes sense for them to focus on the attempt and not the result for a number of reasons. The first one being that bribery as a crime carries a much larger prison sentence. The second being that sports corruption historically is so difficult to prove even when it has taken place. So...

    The Negreira case

    If Barca had evidence of corruption, the right thing was to take it publicly and not commit a crime in retaliation in order to ensure fairness. I think it is true the club felt prejudiced, we can clearly see that even by public statements of people linked to the club and its directors, however...

    The Negreira case

    Well it is the same legal principle as always, attempting to commit a crime doesn't require the success of it to incur punishments. It could very well be that Barcelona believed paying Negreira brought them advantage, or as a matter of fact its clear they did, but it doesn't mean Negreira...

    Liga Round 8: Barca - Sevilla 1-0

    Balde isn't that good going forward tbh or being stationed high up. Xavi's idea was, he's fast and decent technically, he must be able to beat players, but always more to it than that. He complains in a lot of games about how Balde couldn't find 1v1 successes. Balde is best on the ball deeper...

    The Negreira case

    https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/barcelona-remain-calm-over-latest-developments-in-the-negreira-case-92660619 The full judgement is readable here. The judge specifies that the reason for the change of the charge from sports corruption to bribery is that he considers sports corruption is a...

    The Negreira case

    https://www.elmundo.es/deportes/2023/09/28/6515a9a021efa016068b4599.html New article. In summary, the RFEF offices are being searched today to determine exactly the extent of Negreira's role and what decisions he did or didn't take. The judge and the police think he had important influence and...

    The Negreira case

    That would make more sense. The money laundering angle seems illogical. The trial will explain his role in a lot more detail with the investigatory powers I imagine. Could be years from now though.

    The Negreira case

    The Tax Agency said that its likely a lot of the money ended up elsewhere because Negreira's assets didn't increase proportionally with all the money. They investigated whether it could have gone to referees but that didn't bring up any evidence so they discarded that possibility. So then they...

    The Negreira case

    What's your opinion on why the money was paid? Whatever the hypothesis, it seems clear 8 million wasn't paid for only basic refereeing reports, that's a service that is a lot cheaper than that.
