He real Madrid has finally appeared in the Negreira case. The white club considers that it feels aggrieved party by the payments of the FC Barcelona to the ex-vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, and requests to practice as a private prosecutor.

In the same letter the presence of a member of the Madrid entity appears, also requesting to appear in the case as a private accusation. This is a lawyer with more than 40 years as a Madrid partner, named Luis José Sáenz de Tejada Vallejo and who claims to consider himself an aggrieved party “for the crime of corruption in sport.”
