Barcelona have condemned the “undoubtedly false” recent reports of financial crimes against former president Joan Laporta, claiming the accusations could be an “illegitimate attempt” to alter the club’s democratic elections.
A formal complaint was lodged against Laporta on Friday, accusing the Spaniard of money laundering, tax fraud and organized crime during his presidency at Barcelona. According to El Periodico, a total of 38 documents supporting the claims were filed at the duty court of the Central Court of First Instance of the National Court in Madrid.
