Villarrubí feels the timing of the desicion is change and linked it to the appearance of the tax accuastions against Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks: "I find it difficult to imagine that this would have happened had there not been a similar problem with another player. It's an element to add in." And making direct reference to Ronaldo, he added: "All of the developments that are taking place right now and that will take place in the coming days are going in a very clear direction: so that Cristiano Ronaldo does not sit in the dock. They don't want there to be a photo of Ronaldo in the dock, but Messi did have to go through that."Villarrubí continued: "I grant Ronaldo the same presumption of innocence that we gave to Messi. They said that [Messi] was a mafia boss fronting a family or organised crime. Now the minister of the tax authorities has made statements calling for Ronaldo's presumption of innocence."
