Barcelona further and further away from the Spanish title

FC Barcelona stumbled again in the Spanish football league. On this occasion the rival was Atletico de Madrid. Playing for the 33rd edition of the championship, Barcelona could not score more than two points against Atletico. In fact, with this score, they add their third draw in four games.

Although Atletico started off with a strong lead, Barcelona kicked off the game with the first goal. But it was an own goal by Diego Costa. The match at the Camp Nou had everything. Plenty penalty shots. There were three. One missed by Costa himself. However, the first half ended in a 1-1 draw.

In the second half, two penalties for each side were enough to settle the match. With this draw, the Catalans have 70 points. They are one point below the leader, Real Madrid, that will play tomorrow against Getafe. If Madrid wins, their advantage will increase by four points and Barcelona will have a hard time trying to win La Liga.

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.
