Barcelona Says It Is 'Oblivious' To Allegations Of Industrial Espionage

Barcelona said that it is “oblivious” to allegations of industrial espionage brought against it and former President Sandro Rosell, according to FOOTBALL ESPANA. The Spanish press reported on Friday that communications group Mediapro "had taken Barca and Rosell to court, with its owner Jaume Roures accusing the ex-patron of e-mail theft, divulging business secrets and invading his privacy." A statement on the team’s official website said:

  • The club is "totally oblivious to the events behind this complaint" and is "immediately requesting all aspects of the case file which relate to the club."
  • The club "demands respect" for its former presidents and the presumption of innocence of two club employees who have been impugned.
  • Barcelona makes itself available "to help clarify the facts which have led to the complaint."
  • The club reserves the use of all legal avenues which serve "to maintain the prestige and good image of FC Barcelona" (FOOTBALL ESPANA, 2/7).
