It never rains but it pours at FC Barcelona, with news breaking that current president, Joan Laporta, is being investigated for bribery.
The accusation centres around the ‘Casa Negreira,’ which centres on payments made by the club to former senior referee, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, over a period of 17 years.
As such, former presidents, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu are also implicated, as well as other high-ranking members of staff.
If found guilty, the punishment metered out to the Catalan giants could be severe.
