The truth from the Barça member who denounces "alleged criminal acts" during Joan Laporta's term
Isidro Navarro Gurumeta wants to make it clear that he did not become a Barça member just to report certain events to the National Court
BarcelonaIsidro Navarro Gurumeta He is the Barça member who filed a lawsuit Friday night with the National Court requesting an investigation into possible criminal offenses related to the club's management over the past five years. In a written statement to the ARA (Aragonese Association of Football Clubs), Navarro wants to state that he was removed from Barça membership in January 2025 "without any communication" from the club. "Recently, they told me that I did not renew my membership in person, something that was not communicated to me at the time, even though the club has my address, email, and phone number," says the member from La Mancha, who adds that at the time of his removal, he had been a member for 24 years with membership number 65.30. Navarro regrets that Barça informed him that he will "under no circumstances" be able to recover his old number and acknowledges that on Thursday, February 19, he registered a new membership in person with number 150.107. "It must be clear that I am not a new member, but a member of more than 25 years. That is why I feel mistreated by my club, which I love almost as much as my own life," he adds. Furthermore, Navarro describes as "almost offensive" the claim that he has filed a complaint against Joan Laporta. "A complaint is technically bringing allegedly criminal acts to the attention of a judge, without any further assessment beyond the facts provided to this authority, who will then decide whether the facts should be investigated or not, a process we are currently in," emphasizes the member, who points out that he is not obligated to provide evidence at this time and is "acting in the best interests of Barcelona and Barça."
