Josep Bartomeu arrested by the police this morning in the company of Óscar Grau, former director-general of the club, and Roman Gomez Pontí, the head of legal services, in the context of the so-called Barcagate case, Josep Bartomeu, a president who resigned a few weeks ago. The Blaugranas will spend the night in prison. It is the Spanish press that announces this evening that he is kept in detention.
He is currently imprisoned at Les Corts police station and preferred to remain silent in the face of investigators. While other arrests could take place in the coming days, Bartomeu is suspected of having disguised Barca’s accounts so as not to reveal certain movements of money, which would have enabled him to pay a communication agency, of which he has requested the services to discredit certain current or former members of the club on social networks.
