Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez has launched a scathing attack on the Negreira Case, describing it as a major corruption scandal that has lasted two decades and demanding immediate action from UEFA.<\/p>\n
In a strong and direct statement, P\u00e9rez said: \u201cRecently, we learned about Barcelona\u2019s \u2018Negreira Case,\u2019 and it\u2019s an incomprehensible situation that is still ongoing\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cThis is a CORRUPTION CASE! The BIGGEST scandal in football history.\u201d<\/p>\n
P\u00e9rez added: \u201cBarcelona spent TWO DECADES making payments and these referees are still active. This makes NO sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Revealing Real Madrid\u2019s next step, he declared: \u201cWe are going to immediately submit a dossier to UEFA because this deserves to be resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid president did not mince his words as he publicly condemned the long-running Negreira affair. He highlighted the shocking duration of the alleged payments \u2014 spanning two decades \u2014 and criticized the fact that involved referees remain active in the game.<\/p>\n
P\u00e9rez\u2019s latest comments mark a significant escalation. Real Madrid is now preparing to formally submit a detailed dossier to UEFA, seeking intervention at the European level.<\/p>\n
The Negreira Case repordly revolves around millions of euros paid by FC Barcelona to companies owned by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Enr\u00edquez Negreira, who served as the vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees for many years. The case has raised serious questions about possible influence over refereeing decisions in Spanish football.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid has repeatedly expressed frustration with how Spanish football authorities have handled the investigation, with Florentino P\u00e9rez now taking the battle directly to UEFA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
