The four individuals named are Clos Gómez, Jaime Latre, Hernández Hernández, and Sánchez Martínez.
New information indicates that the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor may be reviewing a dossier that analyzes the real estate holdings of the four arbitrators: Carlos Clos Gómez, Alejandro Hernández Hernández, Santiago Jaime Latre, and José María Sánchez Martínez.
According to the publication, which claims to have accessed the confidential document, the report details the real estate purchases of all four. In several cases, acquisitions were paid in cash without securing mortgage financing.
The document reportedly reached the Public Prosecutor’s Office less than a week ago. It contains 55 pages with photographs of the properties owned by the four arbitrators, along with notes on the payment methods, which often involved cash transactions. The Anti-Corruption unit is currently evaluating whether this material should be included in the lawsuit that concerns payments from Barcelona to José María Enríquez Negreira during his vice-chairmanship of the Technical Committee of Referees.
Clos Gómez, who oversees VAR operations for the CTA, is said to own seven properties valued at over a million euros in total.
Santiago Jaime Latre reportedly holds seven properties, all paid in cash, with purchases concentrated around 2020.
A man identified as Alejandro Hernández Hernández is said to have real estate holdings acquired between 2019 and 2021, with a combined value exceeding one million euros according to the report.
José María Sánchez Martínez is described as owning a 164-square-meter residence in Murcia, purchased in 2019 for around 650,000 euros, plus two parking spaces and a storage room. Later in 2022, he acquired a third garage space in Murcia. All of these purchases are noted as cash transactions, without mortgage loans.
Officials from the anti-corruption office have not ruled out the possibility that the report exists and that it circulates anonymously with allegations about the four arbitrators’ real estate assets. However, there has been no confirmation that investigators are currently actively pursuing it.
Source material cited in the report originates from El Debate, but the anti-corruption service has not confirmed active involvement in the case at this time.
