LaLiga: We Have Evidence Barcelona Bribed Referees - Real Madrid Writes UEFA
- Real Madrid submitted a letter to UEFA on Wednesday urging the resumption of disciplinary proceedings regarding the Negreira Case, claiming they possess significant evidence of prolonged, opaque payments by Barcelona to former referee official Negreira.
- Barcelona paid companies owned by Negreira over €7.3 million between 2001 and 2018; the Spanish champions have always maintained the money was for "technical reports on referees and refereeing."
- Madrid claims these facts reveal a structure of "undue influence over the refereeing body," while UEFA previously confirmed its ethics inspectors would investigate potential violations of the organization's "legal framework" when payments were first revealed in 2023.
- Last week, Barcelona submitted a "mandatory conciliation claim prior to the filing of a criminal complaint for an offence of slander" against Real Madrid, asserting these legal actions aim to force a retraction of false statements.
- UEFA declined to comment on Madrid's letter, reiterating that its disciplinary bodies operate independently, as the relationship between the two clubs has soured earlier this year following the breakdown of the European Super League project.
