[Saba Sports News] Reports from Spanish media indicate
that Laporta, the current chairman of La Liga’s Barcelona, is under
investigation by relevant authorities following allegations of bribery. It is
alleged that Laporta, during his first term as Barcelona president from 2003 to
2010, bribed a judge. This case garnered significant attention at the time and
has remained an ongoing criminal investigation. Recent evidence and a report
filed against Laporta have prompted the investigation. Laporta’s lawyer now has
five days to lodge an appeal. If the appeal is successful, the investigation
into Laporta will conclude. However, if the appeal is unsuccessful, Laporta
will remain under investigation and could face legal proceedings.
