Rousaud's serious accusation: Someone has had their hand in the till
The now ex-vice president of Barcelona said that he did not know who it had been
There are huge internal ruptures at Barcelona as proven by the resignation of six board members on Thursday night. President Josep Maria Bartomeu is increasingly alone and even if he names replacements the current situation seems unsustainable.
Emiili Rousaud, the former vice president who was among the six board members to resign, has made some explosive comments in an interview with Rac1 on Friday, just hours after stepping down.
"I think someone has had their hand in the (club's) till," he said. "You pay one million euros (to I3 Ventures) for a job that has a market price of 100,000 euros. Who? Definitely someone on the board, I don't know who, but you can have your suspicions..."
It would have been impossible to be clearer. The accusations are serious and we will have to see the response from Bartomeu and his board in the coming days.
Rousaud was talking about the social media scandal which broke in February when it was revealed I3 Ventues ran social media accounts that smeared people linked to Barça.
Not just that, but Rousaud also said that three more board members are considering handing in their resignations, which would leave Bartomeu further weakened.
