Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu was reportedly arrested on Monday morning by Catalan police in connection with the investigation into the ‘Barcagate’ scandal.
RAC1 report that Bartomeu, club CEO Óscar Grau and Román Gómez Pontí, the head of legal services as well as former adviser Jaume Masferrer were also detained by police.
Guillem Balague reports that the four men have been arrested on suspicion of “unfair administration, corruption between individuals and money laundering.”
The news follows on from reports earlier today that police were at Barcelona on Monday morning to search the club’s offices.
