The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, appeared yesterday, for two hours before the media two months after the Negreira case broke out. He was not able to explain in exchange for what the Barça club paid the number two of the referees 7.5 million euros.
As the only answer he took with him several boxes and 43 CDs with which he tried to prove that very valuable reports were purchased. "It's a smear campaign. It cannot be that we should be condemned without trial," he said.
