The Classical - Gone in / Ticket FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid

The ex director of the Agency Tributaria during the years 1998-2001, Ignacio Ruiz Jarabo, has explained in the book "Been Fiscal and Democracy: The Agency Tributaria in perspective" that in 2001 the then president of the Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, loomed to stop the Spanish League in front of the constant inspections that made Inland revenue to the clubs of First Division.

"I explain an episode that occurred in reference to the clubs of football. In those years decide to do a procedure of inspection tributaria and decide that in a sector how the professional football and the competition was so big that had to do it to all the clubs at the same time. We could not inspect only to ones and therefore we agree an inspection to all the professional clubs that made of form harmonised, with unanimous criteria".

In this sense, Jarabo adds that "initiated the inspection, the clubs immediately saw that it was a serious thing and that the criteria were coordinated and marked the rhythm in the time. Had the reliable news that the president of the Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, requested to the Ministry of the Treasury that will paralyse the inspections. It requested it in categorical terms and warned that if it did not do case to his requirement paralysed the competition".

In any case, said investigations did not detain . "In the Agency Tributaria do not paralyse the investigations, does not proceed to investigate to the taxpayers according to the will, but according to our criteria. That pretence of Florentino Pérez for all the clubs, according to him, luckily did not arrive to good term. It seems to be that Florentino did not express with a very cordial tone, according to several testimonies".

Ignacio Ruiz Jarabo explains, besides, that "when the Real Madrid won the World-wide of clubs and stopped to the players in the airport asking them if had something that declare Florentino answered that yes, that were the champions of the world".

Asked in the program "Què t'hi jugues?" By current cases that affect to the Barça, Ruiz Jarabo has wanted to leave clear that his information limits to what appears in the press but indicates that "I can not share the vision that has the president of the Barcelona" on a black hand in regarding the "case Neymar". Regarding Messi, instead, "do not say that there is persecution but yes that some professionals are being victims of a mistaken criterion of the Agency Tributaria".
