Claims made that Gerard Pique was 'active part' in controversial Spanish Super Cup contract

Back in 2020, the Spanish Super Cup was controversially moved to Saudi Arabia, where it has been held ever since. The agreement for this to happen is currently being investigated, and former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is one of the people being investigated.

Ace for ReliefThe Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard concluded that Pique was an “active party” in the contract that brought the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia. As such, they asked the presiding judge in the ongoing case to issue a commission rogatory to Saudi Arabia to identify the bank accounts of the former Barcelona player – as well as that of Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Federation.

This matter has been one that has led to many discussions throughout Spanish football. It will be interesting to see how the matter develops as the investigation progresses.
