The substitute judge who led the instruction of the Negreira case in its initial phase, Silvia López Mejía, hid from the Provincial Court of Barcelona that her partner is the supplier of the signage of the Barcelona Football Club. In this way, the magistrate could incur in a manifest incompatibility as there is a conflict of interest. Instead of abstaining because of the family relationship, she took on the case.
So what can they do about this?
It all lines up with the chatter that the club was emitting back when this judge was heading the case, oh no worries, just money laundering, we are in the clear, nothing but Madrid obfuscation, Franco, Florentino… Etc.
Now we get to see that Barcelona has been benefiting from a network of affiliated connections in all levels of government. Remember that the dude in charge of reducing the statute of limitations on this specific case ( for sport law) was a Barca executive who just happened to become one of the leads in the sports ministry. It all stinks and we’ve been saying it for decades, and now the people who called us tinfoil hatters are desperate to change the narrative.
So your take is that Barcelona is the club that has been benefiting from having close ties to government officials in Spain all this time?
You have to give it to them. Barca networking is just on a different level.
How will Barca fanatics spin this?
Its amazing how la liga just keeps feeding us the drama
If this means the judge will be changed im happy
Isn’t the judge a different one now? I think there’s an anti-independence guy now, so the veredict is already written. Even if we were not guilty (which probably not the case anyways).
Idk but last time i checked the judge was some dude who made things up in court and just tried to do it as “exiting” as possible. He was the same one who changed this case from sports corruption to bribery even tho its not legally possible so i hope he gets changed
