Rosell: My four years at the helm of Barcelona were the best four years in the club’s history

Hupu, October 17th: Former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell appeared at a Catalan Sports Confederation Union talk event on collusion and responsibility in sports on Thursday. During this period, he looked back on his years in charge of Barcelona and was proud of the achievements during his tenure.

"During my four-year tenure, we made more than 250 million euros in regular revenue, regular revenue, excluding the sale of players. The fact is that we did very well. Our sporting departments won everything and, of course, we put the Catalan four stripes on the jersey. All these things had a big impact and also allowed Barca to perform so well because those were the best four years in the history of the club, no matter how much some people don't want to admit it, these are statistics "

"Then someone didn't want us to go so smoothly, so a group of people got together and started filing lawsuits against us and taking advantage of the country's judicial corruption to create lawsuits. I faced six ex officio charges by the Spanish Prosecutor's Office, six times. Six times I faced jail time and money damages in front of a judge and presented my case, but I won all six times. When it was the state itself that brought the case against me, and the state itself acquitted me, imagine how innocent I must have been. "

"To give you an idea of ​​the six times I was accused, no one prosecuted me, not an individual, but a prosecutor, who apparently got the call to accuse this guy because they wanted to bring down Barcelona, ​​which was going well at the time. So they started prosecuting the president as a way of disrupting the organization. One of the six times, just to give you an idea, they accused me of being a human organ trafficker. I was stunned, and so was the judge."
