Laporta Cleared in Reus Deportiu Case

The Barcelona Court has dismissed the first judicial case against FC Barcelona president-elect Joan Laporta related to the failed Reus Deportiu project, ruling there was no fraud.

The Barcelona Court's Section Tenth has filed the initial judicial case opened by former tennis player Albert Ramos, who claimed he was deceived by Joan Oliver, former FC Barcelona director-general and main shareholder of Reus Deportiu, after investing in a failed business project. sport-newz.biz

The court denied that fraud occurred and ratified the previous sentence issued by the investigating judge. This judicial decision may impact the two other ongoing cases in which Laporta remains under investigation.
