Anti-corruption asks to impute the former president of the Committee of Referees Sánchez Arminio for the alleged diversion of 8 million

It supports the request of La Liga in the framework of the 'Soule case', but refuses to investigate the RFEF

MADRID, 22 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has supported the request of La Liga in the framework of the 'Soule case' and is interested in the imputation of the former president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) until 2018 Victoriano Sánchez Arminio. The entity led by Javier Tebas asked the National Court to investigate the alleged diversion of 8 million euros that the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) allocated to the referees.

As Vozpopuli advances and Europa Press has been able to confirm in legal sources, Anti-Corruption supports several of the proceedings requested by La Liga, although it is opposed to the RFEF itself being investigated for these events.

It so happened that this same Tuesday it emerged that La Liga had requested the judge instructing 'Soule', a case in which the alleged irregularities in the management of Ángel María Villar as president of the RFEF, to investigate a series of payments made by this body to the son of the former vice president of referees José María Enríquez Negreira during the Villar stage.

It is about 4,400 euros that the RFEF would have paid in various batches between 2011 and 2016 to Javier Enríquez. The sources consulted point out that in its day La Liga already requested in the framework of the 'Soule case' that the RFEF clarify a series of payments that would be unjustified, but that once the so-called 'Negreira case' was known, it has insisted on clarifying this point. .

The person in charge of the Central Court of Instruction Number 1, Alejandro Abascal, agreed last August to extend his investigations into 'Soule' while waiting to receive several pending reports.

In the last ones sent by the General State Intervention (IGAE), to which Europa Press had access, the instructor was warned of the existence of irregularities of different kinds in the works and construction of several soccer fields in Spain.

It was last week when it became known that the Barcelona Prosecutor's Office was investigating the payment of 1.7 million that, presumably, FC Barcelona would have made to Enríquez Negreira.
