Joan Laporta exposed to the media the ‘Forensic’ investigation into the actions of Josep Mara Bartomeu at the head of the management of the Barcelona Football Club and his speech could not have been more forceful: “We have filed a complaint with the Provincial Prosecutor of Barcelona because the members, who are the owners, have the right to know the actions that led the club to ruin and we don’t want to be complicit in these actions,” he said.
The agency determined payments without cause, others with false cause and others disproportionate
“The Board in an exercise of responsibility wanted to know the economic reality of the club, to know what resources we had. We requested a Due Diligence that saw some dubious operations that had to be analyzed. The agency determined payments without cause, others with false cause and others disproportionate. They evidenced disloyal conduct with the club’s heritage and did not rule out an enrichment of those involved, “said the president.
The disproportionate figures that do not add up to Laporta: “There are variables to cheat”
We put the facts in the hands of the Prosecutor. They have the resources. It is an allegation of incontestable facts. We make your job easier. We have done it because the partners have the right to know the facts that led to the situation of ruin. We don’t want to be accomplices”, stressed Joan Laporta in his appearance.
