Barcelona announced yesterday that the results of investigations conducted by the company, "Waterhouse Coopers", for the account of the club contracting a company to follow up on its accounts on social networks, acquitted him of the allegations of organizing a campaign of defamation against important symbols of the club, including prominent players such as Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique And others.
FC Barcelona said in a press statement that the accounting firm concluded that: "In the contract related to the follow-up and analysis of social media accounts, Barcelona did not direct any campaign of defamation against any person."
The audit revealed that Barcelona did not pay more than the market prices for the services of "i3 Ventures". And media outlets in Spain reported in February that the company, "i3 Ventures", was linked to other accounts that published negative news about personalities in Barcelona and potential opponents of club president Josep Bartomeo. After that, Barcelona broke his contract with the company soon after.
