Negreira seeks removal from case after forensic report

Negreira’s legal team filed a motion to exclude him from the Barcelona payment investigation after a forensic report concluded he lacks the cognitive ability to understand the proceedings.

Negreira’s defence submitted the motion to Court of Instruction No. 1 in Barcelona, arguing the former CTA vice‑president should be removed from the case that probes €7.3 million in payments to him between 2011 and 2018. The request follows a forensic report stating Negreira currently lacks the volitional and cognitive capacity to comprehend the judicial process. afsport.lat
