Tebas read the warning on LaLiga's fake signatures

The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, reportedly read an email on 19 September in which three former anti-piracy verifiers warned him about the irregular use of their signatures. According to documents seen by El Español, the message reached his official inbox on 16 September.

The verifiers say they did not write the statements or add their signature to each report. Still, their signatures appear on 1,352 reports against bars accused of showing football without a licence, which ended up in courts across Spain. They say they only received the full document months later, when they were called to testify.

The papers point to possible crimes of document forgery and procedural fraud, whose existence will have to be determined by the courts.
