Spanish police detained several people after raiding Barcelona's stadium in a search and seize operation related to an investigation into club officials. The operation was related to last year’s “Barçagate,” in which club officials were accused of launching a smear campaign against current and former players who were critical of the club and then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu. They were taken to a police station for interrogation, Spanish media said, and police also went to Bartomeu’s house searching for evidence. Court officials said a judge ordered the search and seize operation but the detentions had been made at the discretion of the police agents involved. Barcelona had denied accusations that it hired — and overpaid — a company to make negative comments about its own players and opponents on social media in order to boost the image of senior club officials.
