Laporta cleared in Reus Deportiu case

The Barcelona Audiencia has archived the first judicial case opened for alleged fraud related to the failed Reus Deportiu project, in which FC Barcelona president elect Joan Laporta was involved. The court's ruling, advanced by El País, denies that there was fraud and ratifies the decision made by the investigating judge. extract-html.com

The case stemmed from a complaint by former tennis player Albert Ramos, who alleged he was deceived by Laporta and Joan Oliver after investing in a business project that ultimately failed. This judicial decision could impact the two remaining cases in which Laporta is still being investigated.
