Athletic fans mocks Barca amidst corruption scandal

In the 0-1 defeat to Barcelona at home, Athletic Club fans were seen throwing fake cash onto the pitch to mock the league leaders amidst the ongoing corruption scandal.

Reports last week shows prosecution are investigating Barcelona for their participation in corruption that involved paying the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira.

Athletic Club supporters threw banknotes with Barca’s badge printed on them and “Mafia” written in large capitals with a dollar sign next to it during the Liga clash between the two clubs at San Mames on Sunday night.

Barca are said to have made payments that almost €7 million (£6.2m/$7.4m) to Negreira between 2001 and 2018. Prosecutors are investigating the club over the scandal while president Joan Laporta has insisted Barca are innocent.
