Barcelona is considering taking legal action against La Liga president Javier Tebas after he allegedly leaked private financial information relating to the club without authorization.
The controversy centers on an April 2 press release where La Liga released information about Barcelona’s VIP box deal, which the club alleges violated Article 5 of La Liga’s Budget Preparation Regulations, requiring that all financial information provided by clubs be kept private.
This is not the first time Javier Tebas has been in the dock – he was earlier publicly reprimanded by Spain’s Administrative Sports Tribunal after Real Madrid complained.
In the opinion of sports law expert Miguel Ángel Galán, president of the National Center for Coach Training (CENAFE), Tebas’s action can be deemed a “very serious offense” according to Article 76.2.b of Spanish Sports Law, which governs the behavior of league officials.
Barcelona reacted forcefully with a public denunciation of La Liga and presenting its resignation to the La Liga Delegates Commission.
