La Liga president Javier Tebas is facing legal action over claims that he shared confidential Barcelona data with third parties. The president of the Association for Transparency and Democracy in Sport, Miguel Angel Galan, recently filed a 50-page complaint against Tebas, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Tebas committed five very serious violations by revealing confidential details about Barcelona’s finances without permission, and his decision belittled the club along with Real Madrid.
Miguel added that his complaints to the TAD have led to the disqualification of prominent sportsmen in the past, so Tebas should be ready to face the same music.
His words, “In my capacity as president of the Association for Transparency and Democracy in Sport, I feel compelled to file a complaint in defence of the collective interests of the members of Futbol Club Barcelona and its fans.
Unfortunately, the president of Barcelona, after issuing a statement condemning and denouncing the violation, has not taken any effective measures to address the situation. Therefore, I feel obliged to denounce the misconduct committed by the president of La Liga.
The president’s attitude, which has belittled the two most important clubs in the world – FC Barcelona and Real Madrid – must cease immediately. Javier Tebas, who collaborated with us in the past on various lawsuits against Villar and Rubiales, now faces a new era. My complaints to the TAD led to the disqualification of Villar, Rubiales, and Rocha. Now, it is imperative that Tebas face similar consequences, as his behaviour resembles that of those we criticise.
Specifically, there is no record or evidence that FC Barcelona has previously disclosed this data, either through official communications, or in the media, or on any other public channel, so the disclosure made by La Liga and in particular in the communication under analysis is presented as a revelation of confidential information that lacks authorisation and that violates the secrecy obligations that govern the area of economic management and auditing of the club.”
WOW.
