The investigative court number 22 of Barcelona has summoned FC Barcelona and the ex-vice president of the entity, Emili Rousaud for the act of conciliation prior to the complaint that the Barcelona entity imposed on the former director when he said when resigning from the Barçagate case that “someone had reached into the box” and denounced fraudulent practices in the award mechanism for the social media monitoring contract that was signed with the company I3 Ventures.
However, Rousaud's lawyers do not expect “anything” from this conciliation act regarding a complaint that Speaking to Ràdio Barcelona, Diego Artacho, a lawyer for the former vice president, described it as “absurd”.
For the lawyer of Rousaud “The conclusions of the audit presented by the club demonstrate that Mr. Rousaud's complaints were true. It is certified that the contracts with I3 Ventures were severed to bypass the control bodies and that he was paid above the work that had been carried out. Nor We understand why the complaint is brought by the club as an institution and not by the board of directors when all Mr. Rousaud did was defend the institution. “
