Laporta stands out from Benaiges

First it was Xavi Hernández who responded publicly about the information published this Saturday by the newspaper Now in which they reveal a series of sexual abuse of minors by Albert Benaiges, until a week ago coordinator of football 7 of FC Barcelona, ​​during the eighties and nineties while he was the gymnastics teacher at the Barcelona School. Xavi was “surprised” and “affected” by this information, leaving justice to end up investigating and discovering the truth.

But it was still necessary to know the most authoritative voice of Barcelona: President Joan Laporta. The maximum leader blaugrana took advantage of the presence of the cameras of Barça TV Tonight in Pamplona to send a clear message on the Albert Benaiges matter: “This man left the club for personal reasons. He was hired for the talent of treating players and evaluating the soccer talent of young people. What the club is doing is collecting all the information that is coming out in order to be able to pronounce us officially “.

Laporta, visibly annoyed by some information in which they speculated on a possible collusion of the current president, recalling that previous leaders such as Sandro Rosell or Josep Maria Bartomeu rejected Benaiges’ offer to collaborate with the club: “Whoever tries to link or involve Barcelona in this whole matter in an improper way, will find a forceful reaction from the club in the defense of their legitimate interests.”

Remember that Benaiges left the club hastily last week citing “personal reasons” in his departure. However, information published today by the newspaper Now reveals that the alleged harasser reached an agreement with Barcelona to be able to process an early retirement when the entity was already informed of the alleged criminal acts of its worker.
