RUBIALES: UCO report outlines alleged kickback route from RFEF and La Cartuja | OneFootball

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the Guardia Civil’s Central Operative Unit has delivered a 227-page report to the judge probing the Supercopa case, setting out the alleged modus operandi of a network led by Luis Rubiales to extract kickbacks from the RFEF and ECSSA, operator of Seville’s La Cartuja. The document points to payments that allegedly ended with Javier Alcaide, known as Nene, then with GC Legal, the firm of Tomás González Cueto, Rubiales’s close aide at the federation, which he led from 2018 to 2023.

Part of the inquiry centres on the urgent refurbishment of La Cartuja so the stadium could host Euro 2020 after Bilbao withdrew due to pandemic restrictions. Over suspected irregularities, the judge has named as investigated José María Arrabal, former Andalusian sports secretary general, and Daniel Oviedo, La Cartuja’s current manager.

It details a chain in which Gruconsa, the contractor awarded the works, paid Dismatec Sport, owned by Nene, which in turn paid GC Legal. There was same-day invoicing of 37,500 euros from Dismatec to Gruconsa followed by a 35,000 euros request for GC Legal, with ad hoc billing and unclear service descriptions.

It traces around 100,000 euros in invoices flowing from ECSSA to GC Legal via Gruconsa and Dismatec, and notes a broader pattern where Dismatec’s fees followed Gruconsa’s receipts from the RFEF or ECSSA. The paperwork points to attempts to detach those links in accounts covering at least 202,000 euros between 2020 and 2023.

After Rubiales left in September 2023, Gruconsa and Dismatec continued working with the RFEF under interim president Pedro Rocha, who is also under investigation. In January 2024, a 223,000 euros project again included a Dismatec line, amid an apparent absence of effective consideration for services.
