Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has been arrested following a raid on the club’s offices on Monday. Barca CEO Oscar Grau and Roman Gómez Ponti, the club’s head of legal, were also arrested on the basis of unfair administration, corruption between individuals and money laundering. Local authorities from Mossos d’Esquadra entered Barcelona's stadium as the club’s finance, legal and compliance departments are investigated. One of those, former vice president Emili Rousaud, accused a high-ranking executive of "having their hand in the till". They first raided Camp Nou offices in June in their quest for documents relating to the allegations.
