Barcelona (EFE) It has been going on for a few days.
The leader, in an institutional message without questions after a public event, commented that he will soon explain what the club has in this regard “in all these years.”
Laporta clarified that in his first term (2003-2010) “these services”, from the company of the former referee and then vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees José María Enríquez Negreira, were carried out “with the invoice and the corresponding documentary and video support” and that the bills were paid “for services rendered.”
He also complained about the leaks of data and documents that have been taking place since the case came to light and took the opportunity to respond to the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, who yesterday Monday called for Laporta’s resignation, if he did not give convincing explanations of the matter. : “I will not give him the pleasure, because Barcelona is one of his partners,” he said.
“It is not surprising. They had already warned us that Tebas was behind a reputational campaign against FC Barcelona and against me,” Laporta said in an institutional statement made in the south goal of the Spotify Camp Nou before the media.
“Thebes continues with his obsession with Barça and his phobia with our club”, sentenced the Barca president. And he recalled: “In 2005, as vice president of Alavés, he filed a complaint so that Messi would not play for Barça.” Now Laporta says that Tebas “does not forgive that FC Barcelona has not signed the agreement with CVC” or that it is “in the Super League”.
On the other hand, he warned that “anyone who tries to damage the image of FC Barcelona and diminish its history will have a forceful response from the entity”.
In this sense, he regretted “deeply that constant leaks are taking place in a case that is in an investigation phase by the prosecution and that we understand that it should have maximum custody.” EFE
