June 17, according to the Spanish media "As", the Negrera case will be maintained until September, after Alejandra Hill, president of Barcelona's First Investigation Court, approved the extension. The Barcelona court on Monday dismissed a request for appeal against the six-month extension based on this.

In the ruling, the court "decided to dismiss" the appeal filed by Albert Soler Sicilia (which the Barcelona club has joined), and the appeal filed by Javier Estrada Fernandez, the original prosecutor of the case, who demanded the prosecution of the respondents, including Rossel, Bartomeu, Albert Soler, Oscar Grau or Javier Enriquez Romero (son of Negrera) and others. The appeal filed by

attempted to overturn the extension previously approved for the investigation phase of the case, on the grounds that no new investigation has been conducted since November last year, so there is no basis for the extension. The appeal also argued that the extension ruling was signed by hand and that there was a delay in notification to the parties concerned. Without this extension, the investigation in this case will be affected, because except for Negrera, the other respondents have not yet been questioned. The

Barcelona court ruled that the last argument should be dismissed because it did not cause any damage to the appellant's right to defend. The court concluded that the investigation phase must be extended to continue inquiries with the respondents. For provincial courts, through these investigations and inquiries, decisions may eventually be made to carry out new investigations.
