Laporta to take legal action against former commissioner over accusations concerning ex-Barcelona president

Joan Laporta is set to take legal action against former police commissioner José Manuel Villarejo after the latter made ‘false’ accusations about the Barcelona president’s involvement in the imprisonment of Sandro Rosell, reports SPORT.

During an interview with FCB RAC1, Villarejo divulged information regarding the arrest and imprisonment of Sandro Rosell and revealed that Laporta had given information to the police regarding the former Barça president.

“Although he is not a politician, there are three kinds of enemies in politics: the furious, the bloodthirsty, and the party colleague. In the case of Mr. Rosell, it was Laporta who gave us the information about Sandro Rosell,” Villarejo revealed in the interview, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

Laporta denies Villarejo’s claims

Soon after Villarejo’s comments emerged, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has claimed that the accusations levelled against him are false and that he had no involvement in what went down with Rosell and his imprisonment.

Already having to deal with the whole mess surrounding the Negreira case, Laporta has now been dragged into yet another unsavoury situation.

The Barça supremo has informed SPORT that whatever information that Villarejo has divulged are ‘totally false’ and that he is now planning on taking legal action against the former commissioner over these allegations.
