Overview

• Former president Josep Maria Bartomeu told the court he had only one formal meeting with José María Enríquez Negreira, revising earlier descriptions of multiple meetings as informal encounters.
• Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell maintained that roughly €7.5–€7.6 million paid over 17 years was for reports on referees.
• Media accounts of Javier Enríquez Romero’s appearance conflicted, with Romero later denying that he accused his father or Barcelona of corruption.
• Romero said he produced about 1,600 referee reports and earned around €70,000 per year between 2012 and 2018 through Dasnil 95.
• Bartomeu downplayed a 2018 burofax in which Negreira threatened to “speak,” citing budget cuts affecting Romero’s work, as the case proceeds with witnesses such as Joan Laporta and with several La Liga clubs participating as claimants.
