Barcelona could be demoted or eliminated.
The reason for this was the “case of Negreira”. Earlier, the prosecutor’s office filed a lawsuit against the club, as well as a number of persons who may be involved in this episode.
If the guilt of the “Blaugrana” is proven, then the club as a legal entity may face a fine or a reduction in class. It is also possible that Barcelona will be eliminated, but this is unlikely.
Barcelona will only be found guilty if it can be proven that the club’s payments Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira intended to ensure loyal refereeing. Otherwise, the case will be closed.
Ex-presidents of the Catalans Josep Bartomeu and Sandro Rozel faces a prison sentence of six months to three years for bad administration and six months to four years for corruption.
