‘Something very different from what was initially proposed was reported,’ says Sharon Meza, a member of Barcelona Sporting Club who resigned from a special commission for ‘irregularities’ in process

“I submitted my resignation to be a member of the Special Members Commission appointed by the General Assembly that follows up on legal actions in relation to the forensic audit carried out for the period 2015-2019,” he said in recent days, in a statement published in his Twitter account, Sharon Meza Roldán, who is a lawyer, specialist in Sports Law and also a member of Barcelona Sporting Club.

The lawyer added that her decision was made because “the process that has been carried out during these months has been full of irregularities“, Ranging from the choice of the professional (Francisco Pesántez) in charge of the legal process to” failure to comply with his technical and economic proposal. “

Meza, in conversation with EL UNIVERSO, explained that he does not agree with the fact that the legal strategy has been “changed” to denounce what happened on the issue of Canarian finances.

“The lawyer, after reading the audit report, would report three crimes to the Prosecutor’s Office. But last week they called us to a meeting at the commission to tell us what my colleague’s work has been, and he told us about the complaint, and I asked what crime it was, and he answered me something very different from the technical proposal he had made at the time, which was for the month of May ”, said Meza.

“At first, he said that he was going to file a complaint for money laundering, forgery of documents and signatures, as well as usury. But what he denounced was illicit association. At the meeting I asked him why he changed his strategy, and what he answered is that ‘I have already reported, Barcelona complied and the prosecutor can investigate this and other crimes if he wants,’ “added the lawyer.

Meza insisted on his dissatisfaction with this, since he pointed out that “the authorities here do not investigate anything ex officio, but had to denounce everything that had been said.

Another point with which Meza did not agree is the “economic proposal”, referring to Pesántez’s fees that were originally planned.

“At the time I expressed my disagreement, because an unknown external company would receive an exchange for $ 80,000 and that Barcelona would not have to pay any value, and three months have passed since the signing of that contract and the company that will benefit from this advertising is unknown. , and the club has already paid $ 20,000 ″, he said.

“With this they did not comply with what had been proposed in the first instance, and I said that I did not agree with that, because if they agreed with something and they are not complying with it, they are not being transparent,” he said.

In a statement posted on the Socios Barcelona Twitter account, in response to what was expressed by Meza, it is stated that on November 11, at a meeting with members of the board of directors and attended by only two members of the special commission , Pesántez explained the actions that he has followed for the moment.

“Regarding the legal strategy adopted by Dr. Francisco Pesántez and the alleged crime for which he has presented himself against several former directors (no names are mentioned), we maintain our absolute support and we trust that his actions will allow justice to be achieved that we all want ”, indicates the letter.

“The alleged crime for which the complaint has been filed gives rise to the investigation of other crimes and other typical and unlawful behaviors, finally it is not prudent to deepen by this means in the aforementioned, since it could hinder the legal strategy of the professional and from the Prosecutor’s Office, adding to the fact that the preliminary inquiry is reserved, “the letter added.
