The Catalan has hit out at claims that Barcelona may try to bribe Granada ahead of their crucial game this weekend, which decides who will win La Liga, and also denied that Barcelona used illegal means to procure the title in the 90s when he was at the club.
"The only thing Real Madrid do is harm football. If I was a Granada player I'd be offended, because it insinuates that I could be bought, it's an indecent campaign," said the 71-year-old.
He added that he doubts such things could happen in the game, but that if that were the case, then proven action would have to be taken.
"I believe in football and its honesty. If such things are discovered, though - through secure investigations - then the clubs involved will have to be punished," Gaspart stated.
The ex-Blaugrana chief also spoke about allegations that Barcelona rewarded Tenerife with millions of euros in the 1990s, after they beat Real Madrid on the final day to give his club the title.
"Whoever says that is a liar.
"All Barcelona did was invite Tenerife to [pre-season trophy] the Gamper, not a euro was paid," remarked the businessman.
Gaspart said that he is confident both Granada and Deportivo La Coruna, who face Real Madrid this weekend, will be trying as hard as they can to prevent their respective opponents from lifting the silverware.
