Letter that Madrid must “save” itself from the Massacre scandal

In the last hours, “The Case of the Massacre” was reactivated after issue arrest warrant against a former player Real Madrid, due to the use of a false passport in 2015, which allowed him not to hold a position outside the EU and to be able to play in both the Endesa League and the Copa del Rey, competitions that the white team held during the Pablo Lazo in front of the group.

Real Madrid achieved the treble title with the Euroleague, a competition in which there is no limit on the number of chips from non-EU countries. If in the ACB competitions in which Real Madrid competed, Gustavo Ayon (Mexico) and Facundo Campazzo (Argentina), as non-EU players. So did Marcus Slaughter, an American interior designer born in San Leandro, California. But with receiving Equatorial Guinea passport, The center was able to play as a public player thanks to the Cotonou agreement, although the document turned out to be false.

But the fact is that passports Marcus Slaughter and Andy Panko Fuenlabrada player at that time They had the same number something that alerted the Supreme Sports Council and prevented Panko from using it.

Well, with the reopening of the trial, the date of which has already been set and which, if nothing changes, will take place on November 5th, what is at stake is not only the various punishments required of the players and those involved in the alleged cheating, but at the sporting level Real are in danger of losing the Cup and the ACB win in 2015. for incorrect alignment. Something that the white club will try to avoid by playing the card on the table.

And Real’s defense as the aggrieved party in this case must be aimed at trying to demonstrate that they had nothing to do with the receipt of said passport and that This case involved the player himself and his representative agency. Panko was also a client. The white club will have to demonstrate that it was not aware of the irregularities in the document and that at the sporting level, as soon as Slaughter received a valid passport, Laso made calls counting on the American as a player in the community, and Campazzo and Ayon as outside the community.

At the same time, the statement of Slaughter, who in 2017 said that he paid 35,000 euros for a passport to Julian Aranda, and what “Someone from Real gave him a document,” a fact that the club denied to AS. The same information indicates that the passport could have been given to him by an employee of a white organization, but the ideologist or executor was in no way Real Madrid.

Therefore, following this logical strategy, Real Madrid will strive not to be affected by the scandal and become a victim of the entire process, so as not to lose two titles that, now that the trial is already on the horizon, They are under control.
