"I want to make a statement about the news around the technical consultations that have been made about referees and players. The investigation has been outsourced and investigations are being conducted by outside counsel. Always in coordination with compliance, they are doing an analysis. In such a way that the investigation is rigorous."
"I also want to state that we firmly believe that in a democratic society there must be free and independent journalism. We have to deeply regret the leak of data and documents of a case that is in the investigation phase in the Prosecutor's Office and that should have the maximum custody. Even more so when neither the Prosecutor's Office nor the Police Forces have communicated to the club that it is being investigated. "
"We consider those technical and player consultations necessary. Now we do them internally. These reports were made with the corresponding invoice and had the corresponding documentary and video support. That was done during my previous mandate. With documentary invoice. As soon as we have more information, we will let you know."
"In the shortest possible time we will hold a press conference to explain the information we have in the club. An internal investigation is ongoing. This will not be too late, I trust. We are eager to give explanations. What I can say is that in my previous stage, these bills were paid and there was a documentary and video support. "
"Also to say that Mr. Tebas has already come to the fore again. Some had already warned us that it seemed that Tebas was promoting a reputational campaign against Bar?a and against me. The mask has already been removed. He continues with his obsession with Bar?a. With his phobia with our club. I remember that he is a person who in his career has already shown his animosity towards Bar?a. Already in 2005, as vice president of Alav?s, he already made a complaint because he did not want Messi to play at Bar?a. He does not forgive that we did not sign the agreement with CVC, which is an agreement that he controls. Nor does it support that we are in the Super League. It is their usual modus operandi. His intention to dominate Bar?a from a distance comes out, which is what he has been doing in recent years. He has realized that he can't do that with me. I will not give Mr Tebas the pleasure of ceasing to be president of Barcelona. That is decided by the partners. Whoever tries to dirty the history and image of Barcelona, will receive a strong response. What we have achieved has cost us a lot of work, a lot of effort and spectacular football. Therefore, as president, I will not allow such attempts to tarnish our splendid history. Thank you very much."
