Enríquez Negreira appeared before the Treasury in October 2021 during the tax review for his companies Dasnil and Nilsad to justify the bills and collection he received from the Barça club. The statement made public by El País confirms the different leaks known so far about the services the former referee received from the culé club for about seven million euros.
Regarding his services, Negreira explained that it consisted of “going to watch the matches in person or through his ex-referee friends and being informed about why decisions were made. FC Barcelona thought that the team had been hurt and others had slipped into the teams. This is a personal hypothesis, nobody told me “My obligation was to speak my mind about the matches from the point of view of the referee and the players. Technical advice. What FC Barcelona wanted was to make sure that no decision was made against the club. Everything was impartial,” he said.
