Real Madrid and Barcelona are at war right now over the Negreira case, with neither side giving an inch of space. They are now locked in a legal battle, especially after Barcelona filed a conciliation request against Perez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes after Real Madrid tried to bring UEFA into the equation, hoping that an investigation done by the European football governing body could lead to some form of ban on Barcelona.<\/p>\n

However, according to La Vanguardia<\/a>, UEFA has reiterated that it will not get involved in the Negreira affair until the Spanish courts have issued a definitive ruling on the matter. <\/p>\n

The dossier in question was the one Florentino Perez referenced at his explosive press conference on May 12, when he announced elections and launched a sustained attack on Barcelona over the Negreira case.<\/p>\n

Perez claimed the document, which he said the club had been preparing for two years, outlined Real Madrid\u2019s position on the alleged irregularities and called on UEFA to take action beyond whatever might arise from the ongoing criminal proceedings. <\/p>\n

However, UEFA\u2019s position means that no action will be taken at the European level while the case remains before the Spanish judicial system.<\/p>\n

Barcelona file conciliation request against Perez<\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, Barcelona officially filed a preliminary conciliation request against Perez on Friday, in response to the comments he made at that same May 12 press conference.<\/p>\n

The action is a precursor to a potential lawsuit for alleged defamation under Article 205 of the Spanish Penal Code. <\/p>\n

Barcelona want Perez to retract statements they consider \u201cslanderous and offensive\u201d to the club\u2019s image, comments they allege were made \u201cknowingly and falsely.\u201d<\/p>\n

A summons for the conciliation hearing is not expected before September. At that hearing, Perez will have three options: not to attend, to attend in person, or to send a legal representative on his behalf. <\/p>\n

Should the conciliation fail, Barcelona have warned they will proceed with a formal criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Yuste\u2019s strong words<\/p>\n

Acting president Rafael Yuste made the club\u2019s intentions clear<\/a> when addressing club senators earlier. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Real Madrid president hasn\u2019t come to terms with Bar\u00e7a\u2019s success. There\u2019s a difference between jealousy and rage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see each other in court. For me, it was a disgrace. He accused us of having bought the leagues, of winning them thanks to the referees. The name of Bar\u00e7a, this badge, will not be tarnished by anyone,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid and Barcelona are at war right now over the Negreira case, with neither side giving an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[92,222,1693,82,2582,83,415],"class_list":["post-39722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-madrid","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-florentino-perez","tag-madrid","tag-negreira","tag-real-madrid","tag-uefa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
