🚨👑 Official Statement from Real Madrid:
🛑 Real Madrid Club announces that in connection with the case known as "Negreira", it has sent an official letter to UEFA's disciplinary bodies.
🛑 In this letter, the club informed UEFA that it possesses important evidence that decisively reinforces the signs identified from the beginning regarding long-term, non-transparent payments without any justifiable justification from Barcelona to Jose María Enríquez Negreira, former president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Spanish Football Federation, through various corporate structures.
🛑 Real Madrid has emphasized that these events, from the perspective of sports disciplinary regulations, constitute a systemic risk of the highest degree of importance for the integrity of competitions, as they reveal a structure for illegal interference in the refereeing system; something that contradicts the fundamental principles of competitive equality, impartiality, independence, and the unpredictability of match results.
🛑 In this regard, Real Madrid is requesting the immediate resumption of the disciplinary procedure that was previously initiated by UEFA and believes that the continuation of this situation is unacceptable, as it causes serious damage to the credibility of football and its institutions. For this reason, the club is demanding a decisive, deterrent, and immediate response in the sports field, independent of the judicial case process that is still ongoing.
🛑 For this reason, Real Madrid has requested that UEFA, within the framework of its own independent and specific powers, take the necessary disciplinary and corrective measures to guarantee the integrity, transparency, and proper functioning of competitions; without this implying interference in the duties of state courts or prejudging the criminal jurisdiction regarding the case.
🛑 Real Madrid has also announced that it is present as a private accuser in the ongoing criminal process and, as in the past, will take the necessary actions at every stage of the legal process.
🛑 In conclusion, Real Madrid has once again emphasized its commitment to defending the fundamental values of sport and has announced that it will take any necessary action to prevent events of this nature from going unpunished.
