FC Barcelona is embroiled in the biggest corruption scandal in the history of Spanish football.
The club was found to have paid €7.5 million for non-existent refereeing services.
Furthermore, three million were discovered in the accounts of Negreira's wife, the former vice president of the referees.
The refereeing decisions that have favoured Barcelona club over three decades are now under scrutiny.
It was confirmed that Negreira had influence over the referees, despite the denials of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Conclusion: This corruption scandal has serious implications for FC Barcelona and Spanish football as a whole. The competition institutions must respond by upholding and strengthening transparency and cleanliness. The justice system must continue its firm action against the guilty and not allow any impunity.
