Munoz de Morales says claim he pressured referee is "Kafkaesque"
Jimenez Munoz de Morales, who was alleged to be the committee member who pressurised the referee by COPE, has rejected the claim, calling it "outrageous".
The storm broke on Wednesday night when a linesman alleged that his referee for the Clasico had told him he had to favour Real Madrid.
The linesman's lawyer revealed a member from the Technical Committe of Referees had put pressure on the referee to act in this way.
"I have no idea where it comes from, but its Kafkaesque, to say nothing else," Munoz de Morales told Diario AS.
"I learned [about the complaint] at 19:55 and I have very vague information. They sent a copy to the Spanish Football Federation [RFEF] and I just got home.
"I’ll see if I can read it carefully to know what is going on, but at the moment I can’t say any more. For now I won’t make any comment, but if there is more to say, obviously I will."
