Barcelona have hit back at former vice president Emili Rousaud after he alleged that one of the club's executives was using club funds to line his own pockets.
Rousaud was one of six Barcelona board members to inform club president Josep Maria Bartomeu of their decision to resign from their respective positions last week.
He was joined by fellow vice president Enrique Tombas and directors Silvio Elias, Maria Teixidor, Josep Pont and Jordi Clasamiglia in the aftermath of a proposed overhaul of the club's hierarchy.

Goal learned that several members were informed by Bartomeu that they will have no part to play in the new-look team of directors, and that group included Rousaud, who had previously been tipped as one of the president's proposed successors.
