These days the media have echoed a large number of messages from WhatsApp soccer player Gerard Piqué. Some of them are part of an investigation into how the celebration of the Spanish Soccer Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. However, some audios of a private nature have also emerged. On the legality of their transcending the media, we have spoken today with Unai Aberasturi, professor at UPV of Law of the Faculty of Communication.
Impact of the scandal
These are accusations that the government spokeswoman, Isabel Rodríguez, has spoken about these days. She has described as “reprehensible” from the “moral and ethical” point of view that the Spanish soccer Super Cup is held in Saudi Arabia. In addition, she has asked the Royal Spanish Federation to “rethink” it.
“It is a worrying matter, it is reprehensible from a moral and ethical point of view and I hope they rethink it.” He has also assured that it is difficult for him to understand how a national championship is celebrated in another state. She believes that in this way the fans are “deprived” of being able to participate in it, as she has opined.
In addition, the spokeswoman has pointed out that “unfortunately” the Federation “does not receive public money” and therefore the State has not been able to carry out an audit.
Luis Rubiales and Pique
Rodríguez has expressed himself in this way in reference to the agreement reached by the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, with Saudi Arabia to hold this competition in the Arab country in exchange for 40 million euros. An operation in which the FC Barcelona footballer, Gerard Piqué, also participated through his company Kosmos.
Pique’s response
The defender of FC Barcelona and president of Kosmos, Gerard Piqué, made it clear that any operation of his company with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is “totally legal” and that “the only illegal” of everything that has come out the light this Monday «is to take audios and filter them by interest».
According to some audios published by ‘El Confidencial’, the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, and Piqué himself would have agreed a commission of 24 million euros to take the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, but the president of Kosmos is clear that There has been nothing illegal and that he put “his hand in the fire” by the federal president himself.
