The Higher Sports Council will present this week to the Administrative Court of Sports (TAD) a reasoned request on whether
Pedro Rocha
, president of the Managing Commission of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), should be disqualified for one year following a complaint by
Miguel Galán
.
This request is, as Onda Cero has advanced and El Mundo has been able to confirm, a complaint made by the candidate for the presidency of the RFEF regarding what he considers electoral irregularities or breaches of obligations that could be classified as infractions of disciplinary regulations. sports in reference to the electoral process of the Federation.
Galán
, National Level 3 coach affiliated with the Royal Spanish Football Federation and president of Cenafe, sent a burofax to the CSD on March 19 in which he required him to raise his complaint to the TAD if he did not want it to be the president himself,
José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes
, who was denounced for administrative prevarication by omission.
The CSD explains to El Mundo that the usual process is being followed in receiving complaints. The arguments of the claim are studied and, if the facts show signs of infringement, a reasoned request is submitted to the TAD, which will be the final decision-maker in this process.
This is the second reasoned request that the organization makes to the TAD regarding
Galán
's demands . The first, referring to the deadlines in the elections to the RFEF and also against
Pedro Rocha,
was unanimously archived on January 19 because "there were not sufficient rational indications to consider, even indirectly, the commission of a disciplinary infraction."
On this occasion,
Galán
talks about electoral irregularities and questions the legitimacy of the decisions that
Rocha
has been making in the election process for the presidency of the RFEF, for which he himself was going to offer himself as a candidate.
Candidacy
In fact, the presentation of the candidacy of the president of the Managing Commission to lead the Federation was scheduled for last Wednesday, the day on which the UCO arrested seven people and searched 11 places, including the headquarters of the RFEF, to investigate the crimes of corruption in business, unfair administration and money laundering during the
Rubiales
era and investigated by court number 4 of Majadahonda.
Pedro Rocha , current president of the Extremadura Federation, was vice president of the REF since May 2018, appointed by
Luis Rubiales
himself
