Hackers
THE websites of Spain’s Attorney General’s Office and a far-right political party went offline the same day prosecutors announced sentencing requests for Catalan leaders charged over last year’s independence vote.
A pro-Catalan group known as Hackers for the Republic appeared to claim responsibility for the strike last Friday.
Santiago Abascal, leader of the far-right Vox party whose website was also attacked, said. The dogs of Torra and Puigdemont do not frighten us.”
The Attorney General’s Office confirmed their website had gone down and that technicians were working to get it back online. They did not give any further details about the incident.
Foot Ball
LaLiga’s president on Thursday confirmed the Spanish soccer league association had taken legal steps to ensure a Girona-Barcelona game will be played in Miami, despite strong opposition from Association of Spanish Footballers.
Javier Tebas made the remarks following a LaLiga assembly attended by the president of the Spanish federation Luis Rubiales, who said that the dispute over the venue for the game was a thing of the past.
Tebas acknowledged he had not communicated with FIFA President Gianni Infantino after they said that the game should be played in Spain, and he added that there was no rule that prevents playing a LaLiga game abroad.
According to FIFA’s statutes, the sport’s international governing body has the power to make a final decision on whether to authorize a match.
