Former Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu and current CEO Oscar Grau have both been arrested this morning following a raid on the club’s offices.
The 40th President of FC Barcelona resigned last October after six years in the position, with a fallout with Lionel Messi playing a huge role in his unceremonious exit.
Bartomeu is being investigated in a case of alleged tax fraud over the signing of Neymar along with former president Sandro Rosell, and he is set to stand trial after his appeal was rejected.
The 58-year-old has found himself in more trouble in recent hours after the Catalan police found indications of possible corruption during the closing months of his tenure.
