Khaberni - The Negreira case has seen a new development after the discovery of receipts and checks proving that Barcelona club made financial payments to a company associated with Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, the former Vice President of the Referees Committee, and also to his son, with documents that are now in possession of the judge overseeing the investigation.
The famous Spanish program "El Chiringuito" mentioned that, according to what is being circulated, these checks represent a new physical element within the case file, after investigations in earlier stages mainly depended on accounting reports and internal documents, before a direct proof of payment processes now appeared, which have been subject to judicial scrutiny.
These developments come at a sensitive time for Barcelona, as judicial authorities continue to study the nature of these payments granted to Negreira and their purposes, and whether they fall under consultancy services as the club previously asserted, or if they carry broader legal dimensions that might affect the course of the case.
It is expected that these checks will play a pivotal role in the next phase of the investigation, where the judge will examine them and link them with the time periods and parties involved, in preparation for making decisions that may determine the final direction of the file, in one of the most controversial cases in the history of modern Spanish football.
