🚨 Official: Barça files a complaint against Florentino Pérez! | OneFootball

A scathing statement.

After several weeks of public attacks by Florentino Pérez against Barça, accusing the Blaugrana club of bribing Spanish referees and thus having “stolen” several titles from Real Madrid, the Catalan giant has decided to hit back.

In a statement published this Friday, FC Barcelona announced that it had filed “a request for prior conciliation before initiating criminal proceedings for defamation, in accordance with Article 205 of the Spanish Criminal Code, against Real Madrid president Mr. Florentino Pérez, following his statements at the press conference on May 12 and in an interview given to the media the following day.”

Barça explains that “this request aims to obtain from Mr. Pérez the withdrawal of certain statements he made knowingly, defamatory statements that damage the Club’s image and reputation.”

Finally, the Blaugranas specify that “if this request remains unanswered, FC Barcelona will initiate criminal proceedings.”
