Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reportedly been charged with bribery in the latest development regarding the Negreira Case.
Charges of bribery were previously filed in September with former presidents Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell both accused.
Laporta had not been initially mentioned but has now, according to EFE, as the judge has ruled the charges (which relate to his first spell in charge) shouldn’t be time-barred.
Barcelona paid more than €7.3m to firms owned by José María Enríquez Negreira, who was vice-president of the Spanish football federation’s refereeing committee from 1993 to 2018.
