Javier Tebas, president of the National Professional Football League, was aware of the recordings made on the phone of Luis Rubiales, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, before coming to light, and, according to some audios published this Wednesday by OKDIARIO, they would be part of a plan that would aim to force his departure from the RFEF, as well as that of Alejandro Blanco, president of the Spanish Olympic Committee.
Tebas has always assured that he had nothing to do with the recordings of Rubiales and this Tuesday, at the Europa Press Breakfasts, he reiterated that he is outside the espionage plot against the president of the RFEF. The president of LaLiga has reacted to the information from OKDIARIO through a message on his social networks.
«The headline is false and the recording is from last Saturday! (May 28) They can get it out in full. I participated at the request of a director of the RFEF who asked to report irregularities and harassment. He was not the first nor will he be the last », reads a tweet from the president of LaLiga.
In the audio published this Wednesday by the aforementioned medium, Gerardo González Otero, former RFEF general secretary, can be heard in a conversation with Tebas. At one point, an interlocutor affirms: «Here the objective is to charge us here with the Rubialismo, Luis and, in line with what you told me yesterday, Gerardo, about the Córdoba issue. In the pack we can also include Alejandro Blanco. Do we kill both of us or…?” He asks with an answer from Thebes: “Yes, yes. Let’s see, we have to kill Luis Rubiales.”
Tebas also talks about Alejandro Blanco, whom he considers “an element to kill” because “he is the one who is saving Rubiales’ ass”, although he recognizes the difficulty of the press, because, according to the president of LaLiga, he has “a good relationship » with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
Both Tebas and Gerardo González Otero, according to those audios, knew about the leaks and the publications that were going to be produced about the illegal audios extracted from Rubiales’ phone. «First chapter tomorrow in El Confidencial del singer, by Alejandro Blanco. We even have a tape. Because I told Rafa Fernández…». And Tebas interrupts him: «What did you interview him?». And he answers: «No, that would happen to him. He has three quarters of an hour putting the council back from when Irene Lozano was with fifty-odd presidents, “says González Otero. Shortly after, the second delivery of information to the aforementioned media is agreed upon.
Gerardo González Otero, who for years was secretary general of the RFEF, presented his candidacy in 2004 to preside over the Federation, but Ángel María Villar won those elections.
