Sandro Rosell

[impeh]

Former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has been arrested as part of a money-laundering investigation.

 

[Barcaman]

It's a house arrest and not connected to Neymar saga.

 

[BarcaOG]

He's a disease.

Also (off-topic) I only recently learned that Rosell was instrumental in bringing Ronaldinho to the Camp Nou back in 2003. Huh.

 

[Aryagorn]

And the oldies had no qualms in re-electing his puppet! Clowns!!

 

[Galning]

Clear as daylight he is a liar and a crook. 57M for Neymar and nothing more, yeah?

He deserves all the shit he is getting. And people still wonder if some of Barça's transfers during his and Bartomeu's era were/are legit. Filled his pockets everywhere he could. Scumbag.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

And to think he pretended to resign over a thrown rock...

Hahahahaha... Board apologists have been proven wrong on the daily, at the expense of the club's well-being unfortunately. Hope this nightmare ends sooner rather than later.

It's puzzling how Catalans (most successful business people in Spain) can't muster a good candidate for the symbol of their country.

I'm glad this crooked cunt is getting what he deserves, wouldn't mind if he gets a hot beef injection in jail...

They are working against each other and on top of that they are being shit on from the capital. It's not easy. Instead of working together the people in these positions of power work against one another because they want to be the alpha man. And who loses in these situations? Poor Barça.

Sandro Rosell signed a contract with Qatar for their 2022 WC bid. He sent the €2m to Brazil's Teixeira's 10 yr old daughter.

Rosell was facing a FIFA ethics investigation, while he is currently in jail awaiting a tax evasion trial.

Edit: Also this from the FIFA report

Holy shit.

He's now under investigation for having sent a total of 30m euros to different African Football Federations as bribe to vote for Qatar 2022.

This guy is in some deep shit. He can possibly go away for basically life(50+ years) if these allegations are proven and he's extradited to the United States where he already is being investigated by the FBI in link to the FIFA corruption scandal.

What a fall from grace.

From a historic 2010 election based on allegations of Laporta's mismanagement of funds, especially related to some shady shit in Uzbekistan, to stripping Cruyff of honorary club presidency, to eliminating all signs of Cruyff influence in the club. Striking the Neymar deal and the issues after it, resigning and then this.

From a once self-proclaimed master businessman to possibly one of the biggest crooks in World Football.

 

[DonAK]

Rosell's legacy is destruction of everything that built him up with Neymar being the nail in the coffin.

The board apologists have mysteriously gone silent.
