Víctor Font-led platform targets Barça compliance department

Víctor Font’s platform “Nosaltres” has renewed its assault on FC Barcelona’s compliance division, accusing it of failing to behave on a string of controversial enterprise selections whereas directing its consideration elsewhere.

Font is a Catalan businessman and former funding banker who emerged as a number one opposition determine at FC Barcelona after working for the membership’s presidency, dropping to present president Joan Laporta.

Nosaltres argues that the division led by Sergi Atienza has not intervened in operations it considers ethically questionable. As an alternative, it claims the compliance division has targeted on monitoring feedback made by membership members.

“It appears extra involved with taking a look at social media than with investigating the numerous questionable operations which have taken place on the membership from an moral and even authorized viewpoint,” the platform stated in an announcement.

The membership denies these claims and others made by Font and his allies.

The criticism arrives as Font continues to place himself forward of the 2026 presidential elections, overtly difficult the management of Laporta and his board. In line with Nosaltres, Atienza has lately contacted Font to ask concerning the content material of a number of posts revealed on-line. The platform describes this as “critical,” arguing that compliance needs to be addressing “unusual and suspicious actions” quite than questioning members who, it says, are merely referring to “recognized and confirmed details.”

Nosaltres lists a number of instances it believes ought to have triggered formal motion. Amongst them is the awarding of the Camp Nou reconstruction mission to Limak, regardless of inner technical reviews allegedly ranking the corporate lowest among the many bidders. The group additionally questions the membership’s relationship with New Period Visionary Group, a lately created agency that Barça publicly described as a worldwide chief in connectivity, in addition to the sponsorship settlement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which Nosaltres considers incompatible with the membership’s said values.

Different examples cited embrace the settlement with blockchain firm ZKP, described by the platform as having “opaque and murky” origins, the dealings with American provider ISL, and the fee paid to Darren Dein in reference to the renewal of the Nike sponsorship. The signing of Vitor Roque can be talked about, which Nosaltres says has resulted in losses of “a number of tens of tens of millions of euros.”

In line with Culemanía, a bunch of socios submitted an in depth questionnaire by way of the membership’s moral channel relating to the award of the 5G connectivity community on the new Camp Nou to New Period Visionary Group, alongside Orange, with no public tender. The identical doc queried the hyperlink between that deal and the sale of 475 VIP seat licenses, valued at round 100 million euros.

Atienza replied to the questionnaire in October 2025, almost a 12 months after it was submitted, citing confidentiality and enterprise secrecy in a number of responses. He argued that transparency should “be mixed and restricted,” a place that contrasts with the view of these members who imagine there needs to be no such limits. In a earlier basic meeting, treasurer Ferran Olivé defended the method, stating that the operator had introduced the strongest joint proposal with Orange and later dedicated to buying a part of the VIP seats, paying 28 million euros upfront and agreeing to a fee schedule for the rest.

For Nosaltres, these explanations fall brief. The platform has additionally pointed to oblique business hyperlinks between Barça and corporations related to the household of New Period CEO Ruslan Bîrlădeanu. Whereas the compliance division has said that it doesn’t assess political beliefs or private ideologies, and limits its checks to reputational dangers for the membership, critics argue that these connections deserved nearer examination.

Whether or not these claims move muster stays to be seen, as Laporta continues his rebuild of the monetary chaos left behind by his predecessor, Josep Maria Bartomeu. Font fell brief by a large margin in 2021, as Laporta received an outright majority of votes. Font will proceed to argue his case for the socis, hoping to persuade them that Laporta’s administration is lower than the extent of the membership.
