Javier Enríquez, son of former vice-president of referees Enríquez Negreira, declared on September 18 for the case investigating payments of 8.4 million euros from FC Barcelona to the vice-president of the Technical Arbitration Committee (CTA) from 1993 to 2018.
The program The Chiringuito highlighted this statement in which Negreira’s son admitted that he “makes technical arbitration reports” and “includes comparisons with Real Madrid”, while warning that “no one knew when I accompanied the referees or not. There were referees who called me”.
Furthermore, he explained that “Barcelona is a team that, when facing the majority of teams, is superior and the first interested in ensuring that the arbitrations he receives are fair and precise. “Barcelona wants to benefit from optimal arbitrations.”
However, Javier Enríquez denied having any knowledge of these payments: “I didn’t know my father charged even one euro in BarcelonaIt was also something unthinkable, because my father, out of personal ethics and what he always explained to me, is that “I cannot work with any football club because I am vice-president of the technical commission of referees”.
“I asked my father for explanations, he made me think and told me that it was none of my business in a defensive tone“, said Javier Enríquez, who defined the former vice-president of referees in a very harsh way.
“My father, I love him very much, and on a personal and emotional level, we forgive him for what he did to me, but This is not to say that he was a very authoritarian and aggressive person. who even said to me ‘what the hell are you doing?'” he said.
