Estrada Fernández, an idealist of integrity: "He wants to set an example, because silence cannot be allowed"

• Scandal Negreira demanded money "after so many years of favors rendered" and pointed to "Mr. Laporta"

• Guide not to miss How much did Negreira earn?

  What can happen to Barça?

• The referees of the Negreira era "It could be good for you to hire the son of the vice president"
