The latest buzz circulating around our Blaugrana world is that four of Barcelona's vice-presidents were being spied upon by the club, or so they claim - they being Joan Boix, Joan Franquesa, Rafael Yuste and Jaume Ferrer.The club's side of it - the club here being general director Joan Oliver - is that they were not spying on them, but providing them with protection. Protection that Franquesa had apparently requested, as Oliver explains:
"It comes from when Joan Franquesa went to the club and said that he had indications that he was being investigated in his capacity as vice-president. He asked us to verify what the situation was with regard to security in the club's history - threats, stolen computers and databases, etc. - and given that security is very important to the club, the request seemed reasonable to us and it made sense to extend it to the other vice-presidents."
We're with him on this one - we really don't see the club having the motive or the sneakiness to do something like spy on their vice-presidents. Oliver's concluding statement says it all:
"It was not an event with any big significance."
