Málaga CF has paid a 300,000 euros fine for breaching economic control in the 2019-20 season. The National Court rejected the club's appeal against the fine. The Málaga CF had to pay a 300,000 euros fine after an infringement that dates back to the 2019-20 season. The National Court has rejected the club's appeal against the fine imposed by LaLiga for breaching economic control in the 2019-20 season. The club, when it was embargoed in the same season by the Magistrate of the Instruction Court number 14, presented a recourse by the judicial administrator to try to settle the fine. Now, the National Court has pronounced and rejected the recourse, according to Iusport, so the club paid the amount in the court several months ago. Málaga CF has issued a statement commenting that "in relation to the information published about the fine imposed by the National Court on Málaga CF, it is necessary to clarify that: The fine to the club is prior to the current phase of management under judicial supervision and the same was appealed by the entity with posteriority". The club highlighted that "the fine was satisfied in judicial seat by Málaga CF, so it does not imply any economic burden for the club", and also that "the current phase of management under judicial supervision is the one that guarantees that the circumstances referred to by the National Court will not be repeated". The origin of the fine was for exceeding 4.388.000 euros the real cost of the Málaga squad in that season, which represents a deviation of more than 25% of the allowed at that time, more than three times the eight percent admitted for Second Division clubs. LaLiga fined Málaga in May 2021, although it appealed to ordinary justice until it reached the National Court, confirming "absence of guilt, violation of the presumption of innocence, lack of motivation and disproportion of the fine".
