According to AS, the disciplinary committee investigator has recommended dismissing the case against Real Madrid and Florentino Pérez based on freedom of expression grounds.

AS understands that an investigator tasked with reviewing complaints from referees against Real Madrid and club president Florentino Pérez has recommended dismissing the case. The referees' union filed a complaint with the disciplinary committee in May regarding statements made by Real Madrid executives claiming that seven league titles had been stolen from them. Additionally, the Spanish Football Federation has decided to take no action regarding comments made by José Mourinho about referees following Sunday's Madrid derby.

In May, tired of Real Madrid's continued accusations, the referees' union decided to take action. The union first submitted the relevant statement to the Anti-Violence Commission, but the committee initially dismissed the case. It was then submitted to the Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee, which launched an investigation into the statements made by Real Madrid and Florentino Pérez. The complaint stemmed from remarks made by Real Madrid executives at a press conference in May.

At that time, Florentino Pérez said: "I have spent many seasons here and won seven Champions League titles and seven league titles. The other titles were stolen from us. There has been systematic corruption for 20 years, and the referees are still the same people. Still the same referees, still the same methods, so blatantly. This season alone we were robbed of 16 to 18 points."

These remarks deeply offended referees who felt their honor had been damaged. The referees' union stated: "These statements cannot be considered a legitimate exercise of freedom of expression or sports criticism. This is because Mr. Pérez is not simply pointing out individual referee errors, but is accusing the entire refereeing organization of sustained corruption over 20 years."

After months of review, the investigator recommended dismissing the case to the disciplinary committee days ago, though the matter remains ongoing as they await input from the relevant parties. The decision to dismiss the referees' complaint is based on existing laws and applicable regulations. According to sources consulted by AS, it would be difficult to exclude such statements from the scope of freedom of expression without first amending and strengthening several regulations.

Additionally, the Spanish Football Federation has decided not to take legal action against José Mourinho for his comments following the match between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. The Real Madrid manager strongly criticized referees and the VAR committee during a press conference.
