Real Madrid’s management has declared that an immediate board meeting would be held to formulate a reaction to the allegations of corruption against Barcelona.

As Barcelona was accused of corruption, Real Madrid called a quick meeting.
Yesterday, March 10, it was reported that Spanish prosecutors had previously dropped corruption allegations against La Liga powerhouse Barcelona over alleged payments to a company owned by Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, a longtime vice president of Spain’s referees’ committee.

It was alleged that the club made payments amounting to nearly €7 million (£6.2m/$7.4m) from 2001-2018 to the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira.

Following the development, Real Madrid has convened an urgent meeting to discuss their next line of action.

The club released a statement which read;

“Given the seriousness of the accusations made by the Barcelona Prosecutor’s Office against FC Barcelona and two of its presidents for well-founded suspicions of corruption and their relations with whoever was the vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees, José María Enríquez Negreira, the president has convened urgently to the Board of Directors tomorrow, Sunday, March 12, 2023 at 12:00 p.m., in order to decide on the actions that Real Madrid deems appropriate in relation to this matter.”
