La Liga president Javier Tebas sent new evidence to the Prosecutor's Office which attempted to directly implicate former FC Barcelona presidents Josep Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell for alleged unfair administration and misappropriation.  According to “Sport”, La Liga president Javier Tebas sent false evidence to the Prosecutor's Office which attempted to directly implicate former FC Barcelona presidents Josep Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell for alleged unfair administration and misappropriation. Tebas, who has been accused of having an "obsession" with Barca by their current president Joan Laporta and throwing obstacles in the club's way when it comes to buying and registering players, allegedly did this by using a handwritten document penned by a deceased former Barca director Josep Contreras. According to members of Contreras' family, however, the document did not contain the names of the mentioned former Barca presidents. This means that the letter Tebas allegedly provided to the Prosecutor's Office has nothing to do with the 'Caso Negreira' scandal where Barca has been charged for "continued corruption" because of payments made to the Former Vice President of the Referees Committee Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira. Bartomeu and Rosell were also charged, in addition to ex-Barca CEO Oscar Grau and former club director of professional sports Albert Soler. But Barca has insisted that the payments, allegedly made between 2001 and 2018 and totaling more than $7 million as reported by El Mundo, were made legally for consultation work.
This time frame takes in Laporta's first reign as Barca president from 2003 to 2010, and Tebas has suggested that the former lawyer should step down if he cannot explain the payments "well". Instead, though, the document Tebas provided relates to another case where funds were allegedly diverted from the Spanish Football Federation when it was headed by Angel Maria Villar. Tebas allegedly delivered the letter to the Prosecutor's Office on February 22 and specified the names of the former Barca presidents who allegedly appeared in the document. According to Contreras' family, however, the letter was written decades ago with the only names that appear in it those of Contreras' lawyer Emilio Roman, the accountant of his company Ramon Rosell, and a Banca Catalan employee Josep Maria. Sport revealed that Tebas handed that document to the Public Prosecutor on February 22, and signed it personally. The Contreras family said that the document was written decades ago and that the names in it (Rosell - Josep Maria) belong to other people, namely Ramon Rossell, an accountant at the Contreras Company, in addition to Josep Maria, an employee of the Bank of Catalonia.
