Josep Maria Bartomeu, former president of Barcelona, Jaume Masferrer, former director of the presidential zone, Óscar Grau, current general director of the club, and Roman Gomez Ponti, director of legal services, were arrested by the police in connection with the “Barçagate” investigation.
Former FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, former presidential zone manager Jaume Masferrer, current club general manager Óscar Grau, and Román Gómez Ponti, director of legal services, were arrested on Monday by the Mossos d’Esquadra, as judicial sources confirmed to ‘EFE’.
Catalan police entered in the morning to search the offices of the Blaugrana club located at Camp Nou for information on the so-called ‘Barçagate’ case.
During the preliminary proceedings, the Mossos d’Esquadra found evidence of possible unfair administration and / or corruption between individuals.
This judicial inquiry, which starts from a denunciation of the Blaugrana opinion group “Dignitat Blaugrana”, is still under investigation secrecy, which was extended six times by the investigating court number 13 of the Barcelona Hearing. The last extension ends on March 10.
The ‘Barçagate’ is the case in which a company hired by FC Barcelona allegedly carried out a smear campaign on social networks against people and entities unrelated to the board of directors of Josep Maria Bartomeu. TEAM
