• Barçaleaks Messi's brutal demands on Barça: "Let them feel the sword on their head"

The Barcelona Investigating Court number 13 has refused to prohibit EL MUNDO from publishing documentation on 'Barçaleaks' by failing to warn of the commission of a crime of revealing secrets.

The magistrate

Alejandra Gil

has agreed that it is

not appropriate to require the newspaper to stop publishing internal information about FC Barcelona

, ​​as formally requested several weeks ago by the former CEO of the club, Óscar Grau.

The judge also denies deducing testimony against the Mossos d'Esquadra officials who intervened in the computer devices of the members of the previous Board of Directors of the club in the framework of the case known as '

Barçagate

'.


Grau urged the judge last September to stop the publication of information from the terminals that were seized a year ago in the case investigating the alleged creation of false profiles on social networks to attack sectors critical of the board of directors chaired by

Josep Maria Bartomeu

.

These

cell phones and computers were seized by the Judicial Police, against which Grau requested that action be taken for leaking the information

.

He also required that EL MUNDO be warned so that if he continued to publish information, he was committing a crime of disobedience.

An extreme that has also been denied by the judge.


The request of the former top executive of the club took place after

this newspaper revealed numerous internal communications of the members of the previous Board of Directors with the great stars of the entity

.

Among other issues, this newspaper exclusively revealed the conditions imposed by Lionel Messi to renew his multimillion-dollar contract with the club, among which was a new renewal premium of 10 million or the annulment of his termination clause of 700 million as well as threats from the soccer player's father if his demands were not accepted.

"Let them feel the sword on their head," Jorge Messi wrote to his collaborators in the emails that were seized by the Mossos d'Esquadra

.


exclusive

This newspaper also published that

Messi imposed an interest of 3.75% on Barça in the midst of a pandemic after agreeing to postpone the payment of his salary

or the internal reports prepared by the entity's control bodies after

Gerard Piqué

demanded that the club participate in their businesses.

In this sense, the Legal Services came to the conclusion that the player was incurring in a clear conflict of interest and that he was causing "serious damage to the club".


EL MUNDO also published the internal communications that reveal the true causes of the departure of Neymar Jr. or the intra-history of the signing of Antoine Griezmann by Barça, which was negotiated in secret and in a prohibited period, while the Frenchman had a valid contract with Atletico Madrid.


The judge dismisses all of Grau's claims and reminds him that, if he deems it appropriate, he still has the possibility of filing a complaint

or a complaint in another court demanding the suspension of new information and the action against the police officers to whom he attributes the filtering of documents to this medium.
