Jaume Rures: we won 20 million from Rubiales in the courts

New days after it was announced that Jaume Rures was leaving Mediapro, the audiovisual company he himself founded in the 90s, the Catalan entrepreneur told El Món a RAC1 broadcast about the reasons for his unexpected departure. "The general partner sent a letter indicating that I am no longer the executive director. If the opportunity to manage is taken away from me, I prefer to go home," explained Rures.

The lack of communication between Rures and Mediapro is complete. "I usually anticipate what's going to happen in advance. This didn't surprise me. This had been dragging on for a long time and was going to get resolved," he gushed. After a lifetime at Mediapro, Rures didn't like the course of events at his departure. "Mediapro is my baby. I wanted to send''An email to staff, but the partners have classified it. They cut off my communication," he added and said that he "couldn't live if I obeyed everything. The press of the extreme right is happy to see me go. "

Without focusing on his current events, his departure and his connection to the audiovisual world, Rures did not shy away from other issues. Before talking in detail about Barcelona, he spoke about his legal proceedings with Luis Rubiales, who heads the Spanish Football Federation: "When Rubiales came in, he took away our contract. We won 20 million euros worth of litigation against Rubiales. "

"It's a lie that the partner has property" The Catalan entrepreneur also claimed to be involved in Barcelona. In 2021, he partnered with a guarantee to''Joan Laporta could become president and has invested €100 million in 24.5% of Barça Studios through Orpheus Media, a company run by Rures. 'I am not considering buying Barcelona, but I would like a discussion about ownership. Barcelona, like La Caixa, can create a fund that protects a significant part of the ownership and put 25% or 35% on the market.

The Mediapro founder has no intention of joining the club. "I'm not interested in the world of presidency and meetings. I would not like to be president of Barcelona," he confirmed.
