The Negreira case has been going on in the background over the course of 2024 so far. The Prosecutor’s Office continues to investigate Barcelona on charges of sporting corruption over alleged payments that were made to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA).
Pedri, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal have cut short their holidays by one week and returned to the Ciutat Esportiva this morning. @AdriiFdez

There’s been little media coverage of the matter in recent weeks, although that could soon be about to change. El Mundo have broken a major story in the case, which states that the Spanish Civil Guard have concluded that Barcelona paid Negreira a total of €7.5m for refereeing advice that has not been found – also referred to as “phantom reports”.
Barcelona, through president Joan Laporta, have stated on many occasions over the last 16 months (since the story first broke) that the payments to Negreira were used for refereeing reports, which they say was common for teams at the time. These latest findings now say that no much reports ever existed.
Furthermore, the Civil Guard also say that they’ve found €3m in the accounts of Negreira’s wife, which they say cannot be accounted for.
Barcelona have yet to issue a response to this latest report – their firm belief is that they are not guilty of any wrongdoing. It remains to be seen whether that is the result of the ongoing investigation into the matter.
It’s another disruption from Madrid as there has to be issues when season is about to kickoff.
“disruption from Madrid?” ha! It is a reminder of the corrupt nature of Barcelona management at the very top over the last decade. Another reason they are in financial ruin.
Corruption or no corruption, the Barcelona team then will annihilate your Madrid team yesterday today tomorrow and even forever….I’m sure you still remember the 6-2 and 5-0 😂😂😅
I’m giving them another month and they will come up with another stupid story about this fake case of theirs….At the end, the case will be closed.
look at delusional barca fans here. you even watched last season? ofcourse you both lost el classicos and la liga and forget about ucl still you are so delusional with a pre season win? that also with a b team? fans like you is another reason why this club is in ruins and has no respect from their fans and also dressing room. you are not a fan. you are just some random dude who happen to watch highlights of messi scoring goals in 2015
it’s one and same guy aka 100name guy, mentally ill racist and the “special” one
club has been crapped on for years and years in recent time and he invokes decade old memories
conveniently forgets about their biggest clasico losses since were talking past tense
so sad
Barcelona fans speaking from the bottom of the barrel? While being trampled all over… God even knows for how many years?
Unbelieveable insanity in the brain.
Hahaha!
“yesterday today tomorrow and even forever…”
You mean as 11-1 and 8-2? And 100 years of dominance over Barcelona and 10 years dominance after Messi period?
This is called “selective sickness” hahaha.
Bringing crimes to light is naturally “a disruption” from Real Madrid.
Pathetilona once again show its slimy face.
This naturally puts a big questionmark over their so called golden age, that went on from 2009-2015 for a couple of years, that means not only they over paid the HGH midget but also overpaid referees to make sure they got their Ws. Forever stained their reputation and put a cheater brand on the institution.
Suits the club and its fans right that they have been on the suffering end last decade.
To my GREAT enjoyment.
PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Disguisting club.
More than a club. Yeah, also criminals.
It’s interesting on how this case proceed, at the end of the day, we’ll know if those red cards that Ramos use to get during El classico matches were valid
I knew it.
Sickening behavior.
Good that it is being put forward so people can see Barcelona’s true face, corruption and fraud.
Sooooo..
Barcelonas prime was a lie?
Barça are now synonymus with foul play.
Nothing groundbreaking there.
So much embarrassment for this club and its fans.
JUST WOW.
UGLY TEAM.
How should the responsible be punished?
May be taking their trophies away during this scandal?
