"Then there's the issue of the Sports Law, which I don't follow, that there's a three-year statute of limitations. I've advocated for much longer statutes of limitations for these types of crimes," he added, airing his grievances."
"But what's also clear is that Barcelona didn't pay referees, as the narrative seems to suggest."
"You're telling me this, since we're the ones who are involved in the case and who said that this conduct should be condemned with a sporting sanction. But the criminal sphere is another matter. "And to say that referees were being bribed and that if Vinicius wasn't given a penalty in Pamplona, it was Negreira 's fault"
Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, declared that Barcelona did not make payments to referees to influence matches in relation to the Negreira case. The Negreira case involves payments made by Barcelona to former CTA vice-president Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira between 2001 and 2018. Barcelona maintains the payments were for technical reports on referees and scout reports on players. No evidence has been presented proving payments were used to bribe referees. Other parties, including Real Madrid, continue legal action and the matter is under court investigation. La Liga and Tebas have acted as private prosecutors and urged longer statutes of limitations.
