Inside the envelope was a handwritten note with different names, properties, banks and mutual funds. Among these names, that of “Roman, lawyer”, Josep Maria i Rosell, stands out, which Tebas himself relates to the former head of the club’s legal services Roman Gómez Ponti and the two former Barcelona presidents Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu, denounced by the Prosecutor for the Negreira case. The note, advanced by The world and already included in the summary of the case to which the newspaper ARA has had access, it also contains an annotation in one of the margins that reads “Cheques: black money”. Tebas warns the Prosecutor’s Office that Contreras “was part of the boards of directors of Josep Lluís Núñez, Joan Gaspart and Josep Maria Bartomeu, as well as vice-president of the Catalan Football Federation (FCF) and a close friend of the former president of the RFEF Ángel María Villar”.
Arbitrations
In his writing, Tebas assures that he has no “desire to speculate” or to make a “specific accusation against anyone”, but he wants to make a record before the investigators of the “coincidences” in both cases. The letter is not the only report that the top representative of the League has provided to the Prosecutor’s Office: he has also sent four arbitration reports, three invoices and a bank statement that are considered to be linked to the Negreira case. In the first of the cases, it is an analysis of the refereeing of David Fernández Borbalán and his team in the Espanyol-Barça de Copa that was played in January 2016. In the second, a report on the actions of the referee Dámaso Arcediano Monescillo and his assistants in Atlético Osasuna – Barça B de Segona which was played in August 2014. The third report concerns the refereeing of Pedro Sureda Cuenta in Barça B – Sabadell de Second of 2014 and the fourth focuses on the role of Carlos Velasco Carballo in Vila-real – Barça in the League of August 2014.
Two of the three invoices included in the document were issued by Contreras’ company, which the Prosecutor’s Office believes was used as an intermediary to get Negreira some of Barça’s payments in exchange for a commission that the ex-manager would keep . In both cases, it is specified that reports on educational and sports monitoring from 2015 and 2016 are invoiced. The third invoice, also charged to Barça and worth 25,410 euros, would refer to some works inside the Camp Nou facilities . With regard to the bank statement, it refers to a transfer from Barça to the company of the ex-Barcelona manager for a value of 29,040 euros in 2016. Tebas also forwards to the Prosecutor’s Office proof of a payment from another merchant de Contreras to cover the aperitif and lunch of the RFEF for the final of the Super Cup that Athletic Bilbao and Barça contested in August 2015.
