Barcelona and Real Madrid continue their battle in the last stretch of the Spanish League
The ball rolled again on the football fields of Spain. The Spanish League resumed its activities after a forced stop due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As expected, the battle between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona for the title seems to be on its way to increase its intensity in the last stretch of the Iberian competition.
Barcelona leads the way alone with 65 points from 30 rounds. Real Madrid is second, three points behind. But with a game less. The opportunity to spice up La Liga is there: If Real Madrid beats Real Sociedad on Sunday, they will tie Barcelona at the top of the charts.
After this weekend, only eight matches will be left to close the current Spanish football campaign. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid will have four home games and four away games. Real Madrid’s visit to the Athletic Club’s pitch on Matchday 34 has been described as a tough one. While Barcelona will have tough matches on the 33rd and 34th when they play against Atletico de Madrid and Villarreal.

U.S. extradites Iranian man over alleged sanctions evasion scheme
The United States has extradited from Panama an Iranian national accused of evading economic sanctions against Iran by illegally exporting U.S. technology. He is scheduled to appear this Monday before a court in Seattle.
Reza Dindar, 44, was extradited on April 17 after being detained in Panama since July 2025 on charges related to export control violations between 2011 and 2012, allegedly carried out through companies based in China.
The defendant appeared before a U.S. district court in Seattle, where he faces charges of violating sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran in 1995 during the administration of Bill Clinton. These sanctions prohibit the unauthorized export, re-export, or supply—directly or indirectly—of U.S. goods, technology, or services to Iran or its government.
According to the indictment, between 2010 and 2014, Dindar led the company New Port Sourcing Solutions in Xi’an, China, which allegedly concealed the procurement of U.S. products for shipment to clients in Iran.

Elon Musk skips French court appearance over X investigation
Billionaire Elon Musk did not appear this Monday before French authorities, who had summoned him for a voluntary statement as part of an investigation into his social media platform X, prosecutors told AFP.
The platform has been under investigation since early 2025 following complaints from lawmakers alleging bias in its algorithms, which may have altered its functioning and interfered in politics in France.
The probe has since expanded to include other alleged offenses, such as complicity in the distribution of child sexual abuse material, as well as the role of Grok in spreading denialist content and sexually explicit fake images.
In early February, investigators raided X’s offices in Paris. The company has denied any wrongdoing, describing the searches as “political” and “abusive.”
At that time, the Paris prosecutor’s office summoned Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino to provide voluntary testimony as those responsible for the platform during the period under investigation.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau also stated that X employees were called to testify as witnesses between April 20 and April 24.
