Key Argument: FC Barcelona's Fraudulent Practices

The article strongly criticizes FC Barcelona, alleging systematic and premeditated fraudulent activities under President Laporta. It highlights instances of registering players fraudulently (Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor), using dubious accounting practices, and employing multiple auditing firms to legitimize questionable financial dealings, such as the valuation of Barça Studios. The author questions whether LaLiga was deceived by the club or complicit in allowing these actions.

Financial Irregularities

Specific examples of financial manipulation are detailed, including the supposedly 100 million euro income from VIP boxes, which materialized as only 58 million and was to be accounted for over 20 years, not immediately as attempted. Another example is the valuation of Barça Studios at 400 million euros to fund the signing of Lewandowski, Raphinha, Koundé, and Christensen, with the source of this money being unclear and sanctions yet to be determined. The article suggests that the club's actions have allowed them to operate under different rules than other teams, leading to an unfair competition.

Government Intervention and Lack of Accountability

The government's intervention to aid the club concerning player registrations is criticized as yet another instance of FC Barcelona receiving preferential treatment. The article highlights the silence of other LaLiga teams and argues that this situation creates an adulterated and lacking credibility competition. The author concludes that FC Barcelona's actions need to be addressed to ensure fair play in Spanish football.
