Bartomeu in dilemma, six directors of Barcelona board resign

All the three workers that have talked were required to sign confidentiality agreements to protect their identities. According to the report published by Marca: 

“Two of those testifying, known as M.B.R. and O.P.S., stated that an IT expert from South America visited the company to check if any information had gotten out.

Staff were told that all of this was because of a cyberattack, but those testifying have said that these measures took place just after the controversy emerged in the press.” 

Preparations begin for the upcoming season as Barcelona replaces turf at the Camp Nou

O.P.S has said that studies into Bartomeu’s image were carried out regularly and that these were presented more often that those looking at the club itself, while other reports were made about electoral candidates Victor Font, Joan Laporta and Toni Freixa.

Given that the amount of information that is being uncovered is rising at a fast pace, the judge assigned to the case has decided to delay the investigation by six months.
