Piqué arrived shortly after nine in the morning at the Court of First Instance and Education No. 4 of Majdahonda, wearing a suit and smile. He faded, yes, make any statement of the press. As to leave, 12 noon. In his statement, he only responded to the judge, the public prosecutor and his lawyer, but not to the parties. The Piqué defense focused on confirming that the contract was signed effectively with his speech, but it is a usual process, with the usual committees, and thus defending their legitimacy, always consistent with his story. He also made it clear, according to the sources in the room, that the addition was signed on the original contract, which was called for the commission for another three years, for the “relationship of confidence” with RFEF.
Pique asked for a recent statement before leaving the room and the judge told that he was suffering a lot, and that the case affected his reputation. Therefore, he was broken to cry.

The latest documents sent by the Central Employment Unit (UCO) to the Civil Guard to the President of the Court of First Instance and Education 4 from Majdahonda (Madrid), Delia Rodrigo, indicates directly to the former football player. As the journalist óscar lópez furseca a few months ago, UCO prepared a report in which Gerard Pique concludes to a “active part” in the contract From the Spanish Football Cup now is under doubt. The conflict agreement was reflected on the parties to this competition in that country in an agreement worth 264 million euros signed in 2019 between the President of the Federation at the time, a Saudi company and the commercial company, which is the founder and president of Pique, who accused a committee.
As the culmination of the police document, UCO agents raised the need to provide a Rogania (request for judicial assistance) to the Saudi authorities to request information about the existence of open bank accounts in the name of the former football player, Rubiales and 10 other people, in addition to two weeks of companies, many of which are associated with Picky. The agents argue that this information is essential for “the full investigation of the facts that have been investigated”, specifically, to “clarify not only everything related to negotiation for the celebration of the Spanish Football Cup, but also Those companies – which are provided or intended – by some of the investigation On the occasion of the assumption of this. “

The report highlights that this company, “through its representative community (ARTURO Canales), says,” Among the different brokers who provided their services to negotiate, Piqué was an active part of this process through its active community (Arturo Canales). “In this context, contacts were created with Amazon and Sony about various alternatives to celebrate the championship.”
During this, in January 2019, RFEF received a message from another businessman, Alfonso Roberes, who was informed by Sila’s interest in taking the championship rights by showing his description of his envoy as “very attractive they did not do before the Super Cup match.” UCO emphasizes that the proposal received a negative response, although the union just a few days later met the Saudi company with the Kosmos broker, the Piqué community, “ends with approval of the beginning of the negotiations.” Finally, the agreement was signed on September 11 between the two parties.
The police report states that from a series of events, “It was concluded that the mediation carried out by Cosmos had already been practiced in favor of RFEF and not from Sela,” as it was initially presented. In previous police reports, it was already confirmed that in the agreement, the union attributed the position of “guarantor” until the company Piqué received the success of success. This consisted of three million euros, the Saudi company promised to pay Cosmos every year if it was among the teams that scattered the competition are Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
UCO details that the epidemic caused by Covid-19 prevented the championship from a decade in 2021, which “forced RFEF to already suggest a new negotiation scenario given the probability of compliance with the contract.” According to the interrelated messages investigators, “in these new negotiations in which the possibility of ending the agreement and searching for a new headquarters was presented, Kosmos has been again mediated” in an operation in which “Communications between Piqué and Rubiales” occurred. The Federation ended with the signing of some additions to the original contract to extend it with the same conditions until 2029.
