There is no conspiracy in terms of Real. They are created by a fascist assassin and were the absolute image of Spanish fascist excellence for 30 years. They are absolutely loved by the Castilian ultra-nationalists. What this poor lads, from English and German papers that debunk conspiracies, lack is the concept that in backward semi/totalitarian countries clubs were national teams, state weapons. That mentality never died.
Real has it's warriors be it in the var rooms or in the government and sometimes if something csn be used against the enemy, they will do it.
I highly doubt it was only the system since they can check.
