TAD proposes a six-year ban for Pedro Rocha, who will have to step down as president of the Football Federation

The instructor of the Sports Administrative Tribunal (TAD) ruled that the current president of the Football Federation (RFEF), Pedro Rocha, should be disqualified for six years from holding any federal office, as did El Español and confirmed to elDiario. after gaining access to the resolution. If the proposal for sanctions is confirmed in the coming days, it will mean the departure of the football president, who was seen this Thursday in the same box as King Felipe VI during a European Cup match, and will prevent him from standing in the next RFEF elections. ., scheduled for September.

Rocha, indicted in connection with the Super Cup investigation and several cases of corruption within the federation during the Rubiales era, could face indictment in the next ten days in a proposed ruling by the TAD, which opened a case against him in April for possible “”very serious” offences” following a complaint Miguel Angel Galan, President of the National Center for the Training of Football Coaches. The reason? That he allegedly exceeded the duties assigned to him as interim president after the resignation of Luis Rubiales. According to Article 31.8 of the Federation’s statutes, the task of the president of the management company is to call elections to elect a president to complete the term. his resignation. Realizing that he did not do this and made important decisions, he proposed a sanction for a “very serious” misconduct for him and the entire board, which was ultimately acquitted in the decision of the investigation. Following his accusations, the TAD members will meet to impose a final sanction. , which almost always coincides with the proposal.

The instructor calls for a two-year ban for the dismissal of Rubiales’ general secretary (Andreu Kamps), another two years for terminating a contract with a legal consulting firm (also owned by the accused Tomás González Cueto) and another two years for deciding that the RFEF was involved in the case about the Super Cup, for which the judge also charged him, in addition to the former football player Gerard Pique.

Following a tug of war between the Supreme Sports Council (CSD), an organization dependent on the government, and Rocha himself, who was vying for the post of RFEF chairman after being the only candidate to receive support following the tumultuous post-Rubiales administration. period, the current president was able to take office because a government body decided not to suspend him from office, which could have been done through the Sports Law. Of course, the CSD appointed a trusteeship commission chaired by Vicente del Bosque.

The Federation has not yet expressed its version and advised elDiario.es to wait for a statement.
