LaLiga president Javier Tebas insists Barcelona counterpart Joan Laporta “didn’t clarify anything” after addressing clubs about the Negreira Case.
Laporta spoke to Primera and Segunda Division clubs at today’s Extraordinary General Assembly for LaLiga about Barca’s investigation.
Afterwards, Tebas said: “When you are close to one the tone has lowered, his and mine with him. They are not false documents, they are documents from Contreras’ safe, which Negreira’s son invoiced through him.
“We contributed it, with comments with some names that we thought were involved. It is already a coincidence, but if it is proven that they are other people, then the document loses force.
“I don’t think Barcelona bought referees. What we believe is that those payments could influence something, but only the intention can be punishable conduct.”
He also said: “It has not been clarified. We have not had a constant debate on this topic. He considers that it was sufficiently clear and we believe that it was not. It was not a press conference, he has been intervening with Gil Marín, the interventions were very repetitive and there was nothing more to add.
“We have cut because there were more people who wanted to intervene. Real Madrid has not intervened.”
Tebas also commented on Real Madrid‘s video response to Laporta declaring them the “team of the regime” of Francisco Franco.
He said, “La Liga has nothing to say about the Real Madrid video, but I think attention has been diverted. It does not contribute, nor does what Laporta said at the press conference.
“They are free to do what they consider. Regarding the relationship with Laporta, I have been talking to him and I always try to maintain a good relationship, which does not mean that they will be favored or not.
“There has always been communication with Barcelona. One thing that has been made clear is that the one who should have called the clubs to explain it was him, because the irregularity is from Barcelona. We are not going to call to encourage him.”
