Jenni Hermoso Case

“The thing about fools, losers… it was a reaction at the time. But saying that I would say it now is manipulation. Whoever sees the images, it cannot be a sexual assault, between two friends, with a question, there was nothing sexual , she tells me 'okay'… There are the images. Mrs. Hermoso changed her version, but not on the plane. The moment there is pressure, she changes. I only spoke for 10 seconds with her. I told her that communication had asked us to go out together and she didn't want to anymore. I don't attack Hermoso. I'm just saying that she doesn't say anything and then a different one in writing.”

“I have not changed my mind, with Jenni there was a relationship of friendship and a moment of joy. The one who does not have a life in peace and was defenestrated was me. My daughters were in front when Jenni said it was a kiss between friends. I have not “There was coercion. It's false. In a place with cameras, telephones… no one can prove that there has been coercion. Luque? I don't know anything about offering Hermoso a position. I'm not a spokesperson, I haven't told him anything.”

“For me there is no crime. It's my opinion. I asked him the question and he said: 'Okay'. You can't question Hermoso. I can. Because I'm a man? They want to curtail freedom of thought.”

Income and business

“All the money I have is the product of my work. I was trying to do business in the Dominican Republic. I had signed with a company in Korea, which was very pressured and they canceled the contract. I try to make an honest living.”

“I'm going to take a trip to the Dominican Republic to explore. I didn't want to continue in the spotlight, to be in a place to start from scratch. In December, I received word from the bank that I had to leave. They didn't want me to be in Spain. “I love my country and my people. But I have to make an honest living. There is talk that this is a tax haven, but all my money that I have transferred has passed a capital verification process.”

“They don't let me work in football. I have received a media beating that made it impossible to work in Spain. Nor in Asia. I have accounts in the Dominican Republic. I don't have any in other countries. I pay tribute in Spain, my income was from Spain. My savings of a lifetime.”

Bites

“It is a lie that I have taken a bite, that I have a baseball team, that I have land in Saudi Arabia… The claims in the media and the money I have are not the same.”

“I have never taken a bite. I am not going to question the forces of order. If they have doubts, we will clarify them. Nobody has the summary of the case. I have suffered 70 complaints, in complicated situations. Today I went to where it was said that I “I had hit a ball and it is a lot. They also tell me that I have hit a ball in Cape Verde…”.

Contracts investigated

“While I have been president, I have not worked with the construction company that is being talked about. If the contracts are being investigated, there must be a presumption of innocence. I am going to clarify everything. It is strange that someone is banned if they pass a competition, because “There is a family. There are some filters, if there are those filters… I don't know what they are investigating.”

“It was Kosmos who brought Saudi Arabia. The journalist released a story knowing it was false. He said that we gave it to Saudi for an amount lower than what Qatar did. It is false. We chose the best offer. Qatar's was not even “an offer. It was an intention and the offer fell away. Many clubs were saved with that money. The filters were passed. It is being investigated because there are complaints. I have not taken a bite from Piqué. Nor has he offered it to me.”

Espionage

“After resigning, I have not spoken. It has already been said who was the one who recorded. I realized that he recorded. About this person, my uncle, I have tried to make a division between everything that he has given me and then he decided something else. I'm willing to take a truth serum to see if I've ever been with a prostitute.”

Negreira Case

“We have to go to the end. I am happy to dismiss the entire refereeing team en bloc. I want it to go to the end. Also for Barça and the rest of the teams. I set up a new team. I don't know the payments, “I can't give an opinion. Those who can be in the CTA must be 47 years old and were referees in Negreira's time. They were all there, it is impossible to name anyone.”
