The RFEF appears in the case of Negreiro

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced that it appeared in the procedure, “after the appeal of the Prosecutor’s Office for the payments of FC Barcelona to the former vice-president of the Technical Committee was received for processing by the examining court number 1 of the judges in Barcelona, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira».

In an official note, the RFEF states that it has “sent the report of the Federation’s Integrity Department and all documentation supporting the letter to UEFA’s Director of Integrity”. The RFEF confirms that “from the outset it has been cooperating with the relevant authorities to facilitate as much as possible the work of the investigation into these events which predate the current management team”, it clarifies. “UEFA”, the note adds, “has also been informed of the RFEF’s appearance in court. At the same time, the above report prepared by the Integrity Department was forwarded to the CSD and a copy to FC Barcelona and the CTA.

The federal body reiterates its “unquestionable commitment to this matter, launching an internal investigation as soon as the case became known.” The Federation emphasizes that it is “ready to cooperate at any time” and “wants this to be achieved to the end and in return asks for the necessary and advisable cheerfulness that contributes to reducing the climate of tension that has been created towards the arbitration panel”. The RFEF appreciates “the unification of the arbitration group around the CTA, which brought together all the referees currently performing their work in professional football”.
