Joaquim Forn joins Barça as corporate governance chief
The former Catalan interior councillor joined the club's corporate governance area this past Monday, according to Mundo Deportivo.
FC Barcelona has strengthened its corporate governance area with the signing of Joaquim Forn, former interior councillor of the Generalitat de Catalunya. According to the programme 'La Portería' on Betevé, which Mundo Deportivo was able to confirm, Forn will be the club's new head of corporate governance, and the move was completed this past Monday.
His role will be to strengthen the club's governance model and ensure that decisions are aligned with the objectives approved by the board. Forn holds a law degree and had a long political career at Barcelona City Council. In July 2017 he was appointed interior councillor, a post he had to leave in October of that year after being prosecuted over the 1 October referendum.
He was jailed and in 2019 was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison. He received a pardon in 2021. In recent years he has worked in the legal services of Mediapro Group.
