The Catalan police has delivered a report to the Barcelona court accusing FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu of corruption, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
Los Mossos are investigating Bartomeu for alleged personal financial gains for his role in the scandal known as ‘Barçagate’, where it was said that the club hired a third party called I3 Ventures to damage the reputation of current players and other club legends on social media.
Bartomeu has vehemently denied the reports, but the Catalan police now says that the president allegedly paid six times higher than the market value to hire I3 Ventures, and the authorities are now investigating the motives behind said overpay.
