Search operation in Barca's stadium

MADRID:Catalan police detained several people after raiding Barcelona's stadium on Monday in a search and seizure operation, adding to the club's turmoil less than a week before it holds presidential elections. The operation was related to last year's 'Barçagate,' in which club officials were accused of launching a smear campaign against current and former players who were critical of the club and then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Police said detentions were made but did not say who or how many people were taken into custody. The club said it offered full collaboration to the legal and police authorities to help make clear facts which are subject to investigation.
