The Secretary General of the Catalan Football Federation (FCF), Oriol Camacho, sent a letter to the Generalitat of Catalonia explaining the entire electoral process for the presidency of the FCF, to which this newspaper had access.
In more than 20 pages, presented to the registry on April 3, Camacho refers to all the irregularities that were committed and how he had to be involved because of his status as a worker for the federative entity. “I was seriously conditioned to exercise my powers by the president, Mr. Joan Soteras, and its general director, Mr. José Miguel Calle, who designed a strategy to put human, material and financial resources economy of the FCF in favor of the candidacy of the former, who engaged in the alleged criminal activities.”
The secretary added that “following the instructions from Soteras and Calle, I tried to provide legal coverage for a process that was flawed from the beginning, without effective tools to report, because the number of workers that was removed and the retaliation against them was public and known. them”.
Camacho also explained that “Members of the Mossos d’Esquadra of the Central Anti-Corruption Area contacted me by phone, who informed me of secret police proceedings to verify if Soteras had given by a notary in favor of the various clubs, accompanied by a certificate of charges with signatures.” false.”
No trace
Oriol Camacho also recounted how the work method was developed to “favor Soteras’ candidacy.” The secretary maintains that the actions “are carried out during working hours in the offices of the area designated for the Futsal Committee on the mezzanine floor.” And that “in order not to leave a trace, I was told to invent a reason to order the FCF security company to disconnect the camera in this area, an order I executed on May 3, 2022. This camera was inactive and became reactivated after a strange robbery on December 31, 2023 at the FCF headquarters.
The son-in-law messed with the referees
Lucas Viale, sports director of Badalona F. and son-in-law of the president of the Catalan Football Federation, Joan Soteras, once again had a problem with the referees. After the match against Penya Independent, the Murcian referee, Abril Portillo, recorded in the minutes, in the chapter of other observations, the following: “At the end of the match and still on the field of play, the sports director of Badalona F entered. ., Lucas Agustín Viale Ochoa, slandering us about our performance in a frightening way, saying ‘you came to destroy us, that’s what you did, destroy it’, which the members had to remove of the coaching staff.” It is worth remembering that Viale became famous at the time for being awarded by the FCF Foundation after the organization of the Campions Campus aimed at people with functional, sensory and intellectual diversity.
