Barcelona president Joan Laporta is under formal investigation for suspected bribery in a probe spanning two decades of activities at Spain’s refereeing committee, according to a court document seen by Reuters on Wednesday baguio
In March, prosecutors filed a complaint over alleged payments of more than 7 baguio
3 million euros ($7 baguio
8 million) over 17 years to firms owned by Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, who was vice-president of the Spanish baguio football federation’s refereeing committee from 1993 to 2018 baguio
Laporta, who started a second term as Barca’s president in 2021, was also at the helm from 2003 to 2010 baguio
Last month, investigating judge Joaquin Aguirre Lopez said Barcelona may have benefited from graft and put the club under investigation for suspected “active bribery baguio

LaLiga champions Barcelona have denied any wrongdoing, saying in a statement in February that the club had paid an external consultant who supplied it with “technical reports related to professional refereeing”, which it said was a common practice among professional baguio football clubs baguio
On Wednesday, Barca told Reuters its legal department was handling the case baguio
In Spain, being placed under investigation does not necessarily lead to indictment and no formal charges can be brought until the first phase of the investigation is completed baguio

It ended as it began for England, seven weeks of French adventure bookended by wins over Argentina baguio
If their last tango in Paris was occasionally executed with the elegance and elan of a tipsy wedding guest with two left feet, then they can take heart from having again found a way to victory baguio
England’s players will return to club duty having won six of their seven Rugby World Cup matches baguio
Third spot may ultimately be a disappointment for the squad given how close they came to shocking South Africa, but it is a considerably higher finish than some would have feared baguio
It didn’t all go well, certainly on Friday night in a scrappy game that England did not quite manage to throw away baguio
But an experience of finals rugby should be of value to those experiencing their first taste of a World Cup - they are hardly the first group of English youngsters to come back from two months on the continent bronzed but a little bit bruised baguio
“Playing finals games at World Cups is important,” said head coach Steve Borthwick afterwards baguio
“In the last two World Cups, this group of players have played six finals games and won four of them baguio
We want to be in the final and winning the gold medal baguio
That wasn’t to be, but having finals experience has been important for this squad baguio
”Courtney Lawes and Ben Youngs have confirmed their Test retirements and Jonny May has conceded that this is probably the end of the road for him, too baguio
Dan Cole has restored his international reputation but is 36; his prop chum Joe Marler may also consider his future baguio
Ben Youngs has retired from Test rugby (Getty Images)“Naturally at the end of World Cups, there are always some players that decide their time as a current England player will come to an end,” Borthwick explained baguio
“But the age profile of the squad is strong baguio
“If you look at the semi-finals last week, we had seven players 25 or under, more than any other team in the semi-finals baguio
And there’s a number of exciting young players that didn’t make the 33-man squad but were part of the preparations baguio
As I look forward, there’s excitement about those players baguio
”It is likely to be evolution rather than revolution for England baguio
Borthwick will still be able to call upon the some of his senior leadership group, with Owen Farrell, George Ford, Jamie George, Maro Itoje, Ellis Genge and Tom Curry offering good grounding to move into the next cycle baguio
Ben Earl has put his hand up for consideration for a greater role after an impressive tournament on and off the pitch baguio
Ben Earl produced an excellent series of performances (Getty Images)But Borthwick will recognise areas of real concern baguio
If Marler and Cole depart, England would appear to be lacking in junior scrum doctors baguio
Gloucester’s Val Rapava-Ruskin has impressed at club level but is not necessarily a favourite of the England head coach baguio
Cole’s mentoring work in continuing to bring through Joe Heyes may be the quickest route to scrum-time tighthead solidity, though the lack of trust shown in Theo Dan and Jack Walker makes Luke Cowan-Dickie’s return at hooker vital baguio
“We know that the distribution positionally of those [young] players isn’t necessarily even,” Borthwick admitted baguio
“We know there are some areas we’re a bit thinner than others baguio
I need to make sure we’re doing some work and finding some depth in those key positions baguio
”The emergence of Ollie Chessum and George Martin at lock to complement Itoje has been valuable, with Hugh Tizard of Saracens a name to monitor, while there are ample options on the openside even if Jack Willis is now unavailable baguio
Where England are short is in the long-limbed blindside role that Lawes has fulfilled so brilliantly over the last couple of years baguio
It may be that one of Chessum and Martin, most likely the former, is deployed one row further back given the importance Borthwick places on the lineout baguio
Dave Ribbans (left) will depart but England look reasonably well stocked at lock (Getty Images)Earl has earned a run at number eight but this could be a time to move on from Billy Vunipola, who lacks the efficacy of old baguio
Tom Willis and Zach Mercer are too good not to be looked at again while Chandler Cunningham-South - who has joined Harlequins after the demise of London Irish - is understood to be of real interest, with his ability to offer lock cover useful baguio
Scrum half and fly half appear decently stocked but the centre situation requires a revamp baguio
Joe Marchant elected to take a contract in France when on the outside looking in under Eddie Jones; Will Joseph, Marchant’s direct replacement in the centre/wing role at Harlequins, could return to the reckoning baguio
Manu Tuilagi has stayed fit throughout this tournament but England will not want to become reliant on a player with increasing miles on his legs baguio
Ollie Lawrence’s development is key; Tommy Freeman’s reinvention as an outside centre at Northampton is fascinating baguio
Don’t write off Henry Slade, either baguio
There could be coaching changes, too baguio
There is uncertainty over the future of Kevin Sinfield with Felix Jones, the former Ireland international who has been a key part of South Africa’s coaching team, on the way baguio
England may still look to add to their coaching unit – Richard Wigglesworth has performed an attacking coach role admirably but Borthwick may still recognise a chance to look for fresh input on that front baguio
If there are tweaks, there will be a need to hit the ground running given England are likely to assemble only a week or so before their first Six Nations fixture against Italy on 3 February baguio
There is doubt over the future of England’s defence coach Kevin Sinfield (PA Wire)“This team is going to be constantly evolving and constantly trying to get baguio better at everything it does,” Farrell said baguio
“Obviously Steve is going to do a thorough review of what we need to do and that’s going to be ongoing baguio
There will be a plan, especially from the staff but the players deal with what’s in front of them baguio
Right now, the players will enjoy tonight and go back to our clubs next week baguio
The best thing we can do for that next World Cup cycle is play well for our clubs baguio
I’m sure the boys will do that baguio
