The entity chaired by Tebas is playing an active role in the case and provides new data on Javier Enríquez’s relationship with the arbitrators
The league of Javier Tebas is having a very active role in the judicial investigation of the ‘Negreira case’ for the alleged case of corruption at FC Barcelona. It was the first entity that appeared in the cause that is instructed in the Court of Instruction number 1 of Barcelona to exercise the accusation and provided documents that, in his opinion, implicated the former presidents of Barça Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu in payments to the former vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees, José María Enríquez Negreira. He has now gone one step further and has required the judge to include in the investigation Javier Enriquez Romerothe son of the former referee, for his links with the companies that collected millions from Barça, while at the same time he has endorsed that Real Madrid also exercises the accusation as injured party.
From the outset, both the prosecution and the investigating judge Silvia López Mejías They ruled out including Javier Enríquez Romero in the investigations, considering that there were no indications of a crime against him. But La Liga insists and considers this assessment “erroneous”, since, according to this entity, there is a “rich evidence box” from which “the active and necessary cooperation” of the son of the main person involved in the plot would emerge.
The suspicions are based on the report from the Tax Agency and on the relationship that it has had with referees whom it advised as a ‘coach’ and who whistled at FC Barcelona. This entity also provides an intervened note “in which a specific remuneration seems to be stipulated for what would be the function of accompaniment of the referees to the hotel and to the airports”, according to the document to which EL PERIÓDICO, from the Prensa Ibérica group, has had access. The handwritten note confiscated at the home of former Barça director José Conteras Arjona said: “See the referee’s car or not in function. Theme car airport hotel“. The document detailed some amounts: “50,000+10,000”.
The League maintains that the son of the former arbitration leader had a payroll and was a proxy for the company Dasnil 95, the company in which he participated with his father, and that he received million-dollar payments from Barça, and highlights his connection with other companies in the plot, like Soccercam, which is his and also received money from the club in the first stage of Joan Laporta, and Tresep 2014 SL, a company owned by the former director of FC Barcelona José Contreras, deceased in 2022, who acted as an intermediary for the collection of some amounts.
treasury highlights in a record that one of Dasnil’s disbursements to Javier Enríquez is actually “disguised retribution.” In other words, according to the entity chaired by Thebes, this person “had a fluid and continuous relationship with the company he administered” (Dasnil) and “which prevents us from concluding that he was a mere figurehead.” The League exposes that the former executives of the Barca club, such as Óscar Grau, Albert Soler or the former president Bartomeu himself, left a record in some requirements or in their statement to the police that they had no relationship with the former referee Enríquez Negreira, but with his son .

To demonstrate Javier Enríquez’s close relationship with the Spanish referees, LaLiga has also made available to the court a list with the money that he received from six Spanish referees for his coaching services. One of them, Oliver de la Fuente Ramos, L.e came to pay 10,200 euros between 2016 and 2018. This group includes Santiago Jaime Latre, Javier Alberola, Iñaki Vicandi, David Medié and Carlos Calderiña. Latre and Albertola They acted as referees in Barça matches in the same period in which they made these disbursements.
On the other hand, in the court that investigates the case, petitions do not stop arriving to exercise the accusation. One of them is from Association for the Promotion of Social and Sports Activities 2004which includes followers of A Crit Valent, and the Tenerife lawyer Miguel Ángel de Armas Pérez, a lawyer who includes Joan Laporta and Joan Gaspart in his complaint, in whose presidency funds were also paid to the companies in the Negreira case. This complaint will force the judge to rule on the prescription or not of the crimes
