âď¸ Judge sees sporting corruption and a perverted system in Negreira case
New and troubling revelations in the Negreira Case. According to the latest leaked court orders, the judge leading the investigation has been unequivocal in describing a scenario of "sports corruption" of a criminal nature that directly affected the structure of Spanish football for years.
The judge points out that the system for monitoring and evaluating referees was "corrupted". According to the testimony of various referees and former referees, the then vice-president of the CTA, EnrĂquez Negreira, played an absolute and arbitrary leading role, deciding promotions and relegations according to his own professional discretion.
The court document stresses that the multimillion-euro payments made by FC Barcelona have "absolutely no justification". These payments, together with the evidence gathered by the police investigation, have allowed the judge to move forward with abbreviated proceedings after identifying continued criminal conduct.
This situation has Real Madrid on edge, as the club is acting as a private prosecutor in the case. The club is closely following conclusions suggesting that the competition may have been manipulated through a referee promotion system tainted from the top of the Committee.
The court ruling is a heavy blow to the integrity of the competition. With these new signs of systemic corruption, the process is entering a decisive phase in which responsibility will be determined for all those under investigation involved in this unprecedented scandal.
