PARIS, March 24 — European football’s governing body Uefa said on Thursday it was launching an investigation into claims Barcelona paid for favourable refereeing decisions.

Barcelona have already been charged with corruption by Spanish prosecutors for payments between 2001 and 2018 to a company owned by Negreira, totalling around €7.3 million . Charges were filed earlier this month against the club, Negreira and two former Barcelona presidents, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu, among others.

The investigation began after Spain’s tax authorities identified irregularities in tax payments made between 2016 and 2018 by the company Dasnil 95, owned by Negreira.The last invoice was issued in June 2018. After that the refereeing committee was restructured and Negreira left the organisation.“Let it be clear Barca have never bought referees and Barca have never had the intention of buying referees, absolutely never,” he said.
