While the first documentary, born from a university assignment, attempted to chronicle the perfect storm that sank Reus Deportiu, now, in a second installment, it focuses on the practices its owners developed to capitalize the project with money from private investors, which they raised through two intermediaries.</p>]]></description>

"She [Sandra Solé, one of the intermediaries in these transactions] told us: 'You'll get paid somehow. I thought I'd tell Barça to hire you,'" she adds. "She told us: 'No, you won't be working. It's simply a contract, and they'll pay you,'" adds the other sister.</p>]]></description>

"Ms. [Sandra] Solé proposed to the complainants the application for a job at FC Barcelona as a way of recovering the invested money, since it was 'the bargaining chip' that they were using with other investors," states the written complaint, to which ARA has had access.</p>]]></description>
