🚨 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞.

“Real Madrid C. F. communicates that, in relation to the so-called 'Negreira Case', he has presented to UEFA a letter addressed to its disciplinary bodies”.

“In this letter, the club has informed UEFA of the existence of relevant evidence that conclusively reinforces the indications already known from the beginning about the existence of 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, made by the F. C Barcelona to the one who was vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, José María Enríquez Negreira, through different corporate structures”.

“Real Madrid emphasizes that these facts constitute, from the perspective of sports disciplinary law, a systemic risk of maximum gravity for the integrity of competitions, by evidencing the 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, incompatible with the essential principles of competitive equality, neutrality, impartiality and unpredictability of the sports result”.

“In this context, Real Madrid has urged the immediate resumption of the disciplinary file initiated at the time by UEFA, considering it 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 that this situation has been prolonged over time, since its persistence seriously compromises the credibility of football, its institutions and its leaders, so it demands a firm, exemplary and immediate response in the sports field, independent of the future of the ongoing judicial proceedings”.

“Therefore, our club asks UEFA, in the exercise of its own, autonomous and independent competence, to adopt the disciplinary and restorative 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 that are appropriate in order to guarantee the integrity, transparency and proper functioning of the competitions, without this implying, in any case, replacing the function of the jurisdictional bodies of the State or anticipating a criminal qualification of the facts”.

“In this sense, Real Madrid, in person in the ongoing criminal proceedings as a private accusation, will exercise, as it has been doing since its inception, the actions that correspond at each procedural moment”.

“Real Madrid reaffirms its commitment to the defense of the essential values of sport and will continue to promote as many actions as necessary to ensure that events of this nature do not go unpunished”.
