Real Madrid's legal department is hard at work looking into the possibility of taking public television channel Catalunya TV3 to court for a controversial documentary broadcast last Thursday evening entitled "The Real Madrid. The dark past behind Real's white glory".

The documentary, directed by journalist Carles Torras, makes a point of the relationship between 'Los Blancos' and the late Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco, hinting that many of Real Madrid's triumphs were fruit of this relationship.

The documentary used, among other sources, the words of Real Madrid fans that apparently backed up the idea of the Madrilenian club's special relationship with the dictatorship.

However, some of the participants, such as the journalist Miguel Ors and the president of the Veterans Association, Ignacio Zoco, are irate as they consider that their words have been manipulated.

A previous video broadcast by TV3 that likened the Real Madrid players under Mourinho to hyenas also ended up in court, with a resulting €20,000 indemnity payment to the club.

The programme that aired the video, called 'Sense ficció' (Without Fiction) lasted an hour and fourty minutes and focused on the accusations of complicity between Real Madrid and Franco, claiming that the Bernabéu stadium was built with public money and that Di Stéfano ended up at Real Madrid thanks to the regime after supposedly being signed by Barcelona.
