"The scope of the complaint suggests that this is not an isolated accusation, but one that targets key figures within the current leadership structure. A total of 38 documents were submitted electronically alongside the complaint. The allegations centre on suspected money laundering and the alleged "collection of undue commissions." The claims are said to relate to several major financial operations carried out by Barcelona in recent years."
"Two of the headline agreements referenced are the renewal of the sponsorship deal with Nike and the financing and construction process of the new Spotify Camp Nou. Both projects have been critical pillars of Laporta's economic recovery strategy. In addition, the complaint reportedly questions aspects of the Barca Vision sale and the agreement that brought New Era Visionary Group on board as the club's strategic telecommunications partner. These transactions have formed part of Barcelona's efforts to generate liquidity during a period of financial strain."
