A Criminal Lawsuit? Barcelona Drag Florentino Perez to Court
- On November 25, 2026, Real Madrid President Florentino and Barcelona will attend a conciliation hearing at Madrid courts to address a slander lawsuit filed by the Catalan club.
- The legal action stems from statements Florentino made in May, where he alleged corruption in the Negreira case was systemic and claimed European football cannot remain under suspicion of payments spanning 20 years.
- Barcelona demanded a retraction citing the Criminal Code under article 205, considering the accusations an attempt to destabilize the team. The club issued a statement in June reporting it had taken legal action.
- If Florentino refuses to retract his words at the upcoming meeting, Barcelona has indicated it will proceed with a criminal complaint, threatening to prolong the institutional standoff between the two clubs in court.
- Reporting by Cope and MARCA confirmed the court appointment scheduled for 9:40 a.m. in courtroom 1/2 of the Madrid courts, marking the latest chapter in the ongoing institutional dispute.
