The former referee invoiced more than 7.5 million euros to FC Barcelona between 2001 and 2018.
The ‘Negreir case’ seems a bottomless pit since the scandal over FC Barcelona’s charges against the number 2 referee came to light for twenty years. The latest are the orders that the blaugrana entity made to the former referee Enríquez Negreira, number 2 of the Technical Commission of Referees, according to his statement before the Tax Office in October 2021.
According to the EFE agency, Barcelona had a list of requests for Negreira, which were as follows:
1. Request that the Competition Committee, responsible for disciplinary sanctions against players, not be composed entirely of judges from Madrid.
2. That the club had an interlocutor with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) who would handle institutional relations.
3. Recommend which yellow cards or exclusions can be appealed after a match, as the referee’s decision can be technically debatable.
4. Inform or advise on any institutional visit by the RFEF or the CTA.
5. Notify the club of any potential interests or disagreements between the RFEF and the Professional Football League (LFP) or describe candidates to chair the LFP.
