Josep Maria Bartomeu, ex-president of Barça, and Jaume Masferrer, ex-chief of the club presidency's cabinet, are awaiting a court order after spending the night in Les Corts police station. The two have invoked their right not to testify and have been released with charges. This implies that the two remain under investigation for two alleged crimes of unfair administration and corruption between individuals as a result of the hiring of company I3Ventures, in exchange for one million euros, to create states of opinion on social networks favourable to the management of Bartomeu's board and contrary to players like Gerard Piqué or Leo Messi, presidential candidates Victor Font and Joan Laporta or businessmen like Jaume Roures.

Josep Maria Bartomeu has been arrested this Monday in Barcelona along with Jaume Masferrer, Òscar Grau and Román Gómez Ponti, three executives of his maximum confidence. The investigation believes they are involved in the Barçagate case, at the origin of the crisis that ended with Bartomeu exiting the club.
