Real Madrid will join a legal case against FC Barcelona that says the club paid millions of euros to a former referee to influence the outcome of its soccer matches.
Spanish prosecutors formally accused Barcelona of corruption in business and sports last week, and named former club presidents Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu for corruption, document forgery and unfair administration relating to payments to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira when he was vice president of the Spanish Technical Committee of Referees.
