Much is said about how the case will influence Negreira in the future of FC Barcelona in the next edition of Champions League. More after the complaint presented yesterday Friday by the Prosecutor’s Office before the court where he talks about this supposed agreement for arbitration favors between the Barça club and Enriquez Negreira and for which he was paid 7.3 million euros. A complaint that needs to be known whether or not the judge will process it.
But regarding the situation of the Barça club with respect to UEFA, and after the RFEF acknowledged last week that it requested information about it, MD learned some important information.
As MD found out, there will be no performance before May or June. Whenever there is and based on article 4.2 of the Champions League Regulations, which reads as follows: “If, based on all factual circumstances and information available to it, UEFA concludes to its full satisfaction that a club has been directly and/or indirectly involved, since the entry into force of article 50(3) of the UEFA Statutes, that is, on 27 April 2007, in any activity aimed at fixing or influencing the outcome of a match at national or international level, UEFA must declare the club ineligible to participate in the competition Such ineligibility will only be effective for one football season In making its decision, UEFA may rely on a decision of a national sporting body or international court, arbitral tribunal or a state court, but is not obliged to do so UEFA can refrain from declaring a club ineligible four participate in the competition if it is satisfied that the effect of a decision made in relation to the same factual circumstances by a national or international sports body, arbitral tribunal or state court has already had the effect of restraining that club in participating in a UEFA club competition.”
As we say, it will not be until the end of May and especially in June when it will be possible to know what UEFA is doing about it. The process is as follows. Once the competition is over, the Barça club will receive documents for entry into the competition for the next season from the highest body. Something he can do, if he continues like this, is as a League champion.
It is in these documents that Barcelona must notify UEFA itself if it is involved in a procedure as established in the aforementioned article 4.2. The logical thing is that the Barça club puts it on the record, especially when it already has the accusation of the prosecutor made yesterday.
It is in acceptance of the same when UEFA itself must decide whether or not to open a procedure against FC Barcelona. That procedure, considering the speed it requires and when dealing with admission issues, normally goes directly to the UEFA Appeals Committee. Commission that can make two decisions: close it without any kind of consequences or impose some sanctions on the Barça club.
Appeal before TAS the penalty
In the event that the club is finally sanctioned, there will always be the option of going to TAS, as the last legal example of sports. In addition, there are several aspects to consider in this method. Whether or not the judge processes the complaint of the Prosecutor’s Office, this process is currently open and there is no evidence to prove it, nor a final decision on it. It is true that TAS has collected and accepted that there may be sanctions when the cleanliness or image of a competition is not guaranteed.
What seems clear is that for now there is no action on this matter and in a few months we will know what UEFA is doing, if it finally decides to do something about it.
