MADRID : Real Madrid will join the complaint filed on Friday by Spanish prosecutors against Barcelona and two of the LaLiga club's ex-presidents over alleged payments to a company owned by a senior refereeing official to influence match results, the club said on Sunday.
"Real Madrid express their deep concern about the seriousness of the facts and reiterate their full confidence in the action of the justice and have agreed that, in defence of their legitimate interests, they will join the complaint as soon as the judge takes up the case," the club said in a official statement.
Prosecutors allege that under a secret agreement and"in exchange for money", Negreira favoured Barcelona"in the decisions taken by referees in the games played by the club, as well as in the results of the competitions". The official said the club"will fully cooperate with the investigation by all means necessary" and"reiterate that they have never bought any referee nor have tried to influence any official's decisions".
