Sandro Rosell could leave the presidency of the FC Barcelona

Rosell could leave the presidency of the FC Barcelona if finally it is imputed in the case Neymar. As it publishes this Thursday "The Avant-garde", Rosell could present his resignation to end to preserve the good image of the club. The president has foreseen to treat the situation in managerial board before taking a decision. The Barcelonan newspaper advances that "morally it would feel forced to present his resignation" and adds that near sources to the partner complainant have indicated that will expand the complaint to the vice-presidents Bartomeu and Faus.

The past Tuesday Sandro Rosell defended the absolute legality of the signing: "Neymar cost 57.1 million euros. I ask with all the respect to the gentleman judge that quote me to declare, to explain it all, since there is not at all that hide". For the moment, the judge Pablo Ruz has admitted to formality the querella interposed by the partner of the F. C. Barcelona Jordi Marry against the president. The judge of the National High Court sees indications of a simulation of agreements, but does not find urgent to quote to declare the maximum leader of the club until they practise diligences like the one to request to the FIFA the documentation of the signing.

The judge agrees with the public prosecutor José Perals to send a rogatory commission to Brazil to request the agreement of traspaso of the Saints and other documents signed with the Brazilian club like some rights of score by three juvenile of the Brazilian club (7,9 millions) or the agreement to celebrate two friendly parties (9 millions). Also it is foreseen to quote to declare like experts to the workers of Deloitte that did the audit of the Barça.

The thesis of the fiscalía collects suspicious movements. The first, the signature of a fictitious agreement of loan in 2011 that in reality was "a guarantee" for the future contracting of Neymar in 2014, when it remained free of the Saints. It signed with N&N, company of the father of the player, and the club manifested his intention of fichar to his son, crediting in this moment 10 millions. In the back agreement, in which it fixed the price of the forward in 40 millions in concept of economic and federative rights (included the 10 previous), established a clause of penalty in case of incumplimiento of the equivalent agreement to the price of Neymar.

On 3 June 2013, Neymar, N&N and the F. C. Barcelona pactaron resolve the agreement of acquisition because the Brazilian arrived before the planned, with an agreement of transfer of federative rights with the Saints signed by a quantity that the judge does not know. The Barça recognised that it had broken the signed with N&N by the premature incorporation of the player, paid the clause of penalty and act followed formalised the agreement of work with the forward.

According to the judge Pablo Ruz, in the countable documentation contributed by the Barcelona directive or there is not reflected these payments or are annotated by different concepts. The judge also desestima the personación of the Barça like private prosecution since it has not accredited that it have been prejudiced by the facts neither interested in pursuing the crime.
