Likewise, Contreras was a director of the Catalan Football Federation (FCF) during various stages. Andreu Subies, president of the FCF between 2011 and 2018, and Josep Contreras himself were investigated for alleged irregular awards of works by the former to companies of the latter, in a separate piece of the ‘Soule case’ against RFEF leaders.
