The Tax agencyaccording to the legal proceedings to which EL PERIÓDICO DE CATALUNYA, from the Prensa Ibérica group, has had access, breaks down the payments made by the FC Barcelona to the companies of Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira and his son Javier Enriquez Romero during each year from 2001 to 2018 without interruption. The companies are listed Dasnil 95 SL, Nilsad SCP y Soccercamthe latter in 95% of the son.
In view of the table, it could be summed up in that the remunerations began with John Gaspartgrew up with John Laportathey took a big leap with Sandro Rosell and they stood tall with Joseph Maria Bartomeu, who was the one who put an end to the payments. In other words, all the presidents of the 21st century contributed to fattening the checking accounts of the family of the former vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA).
It should be remembered that FC Barcelona sought to combat the historical power of Madrid in the institutions that ran the competition, including arbitration, and for this reason, according to what Enríquez Negreira himself declared to the Tax agency, paid to ensure neutrality. And that search for neutrality seems to have come at a high and growing price.
changing figures
The Treasury imputes the initial payments to Gaspart, in 2001. It was a total of 72,924.40 euros in the first year. The first full course of Laporta, in 2004, 67,625.92 euros were paid and in the last of his first term, in 2009, Negreira’s services, whatever they were, were already paid at 364,954.16 euros.
In 2010 there was the transition from Laporta to Rosell. In 2011, Rosell’s first full year, the Tax Agency is aware of a disbursement of 777,607.48 euros, twice as much as his predecessor left it. There was a slight decrease in salaries in the following years, until Josep Maria Bartomeu came on after Rosell’s surprise resignation.
With Bartomeu, total remuneration rose again to 812,345, 60 in 2014. It went down to levels similar to Laporta’s times and then went up and down again, until the tap was closed in 2018. In that last year A total of 642,017.53 euros left FC Barcelona in the direction of Dasnil 95 SL. In every year, the figures vary.
shaken values
The Negreira case has become a reputational crisis that can be described as unprecedented for the Barcelona club. It is hard to find another historical moment in which so many national and international institutions and organizations place Barça under suspicion of foul play in their offices.
The values of which it has traditionally presumed have been shaken by the discovery of these remunerations and right now it is more similar to one of those Italian clubs that periodically discover a cheating scandal than to Barça governed by ethical criteria and which is He liked looking in the mirror.
Nobody knows how to explain why almost 7.5 million were paid in 18 years and no president is responsible, and that the scandal concerns a minimum of four presidents. Nor does anyone, not even the Tax Agency, know where all the money went. He seems to doubt that the Negreiras were the only beneficiaries, but finds no evidence to support this. At the moment, the quantities are known, but not the complete final destination. In the face of so much official silence, the mystery continues.
