Real Madrid submits substantial dossier on Barca payments case

Real Madrid has lodged a comprehensive dossier with UEFA, detailing payments allegedly made by Barcelona to a former vice‑president of Spain’s referees’ committee. The submission comes as part of an ongoing investigation into possible irregularities in the club’s financial dealings.

In the file, Real claims the evidence carries "extraordinary gravity" and requests that UEFA treat the matter with the seriousness it warrants. The club has not provided a public statement beyond the formal filing.

The case follows a series of accusations that have surfaced in recent months about undisclosed payments between football clubs and officials. UEFA’s role is to assess the validity of the claims and determine whether any disciplinary action is required.

If the allegations are proven, Barcelona could face sanctions ranging from fines to points deductions, depending on the severity of the breach. The outcome will also affect the club’s reputation and its relationships within Spanish football governance.

UEFA has acknowledged receipt of the dossier and will review the documentation before deciding on further steps. A hearing or additional inquiry may be scheduled once the initial assessment is complete.
