Real Madrid have submitted what they describe as a "substantial" dossier to UEFA concerning payments made by Barcelona to a former vice-president of Spain's referees' committee, according to the BBC.
The Spanish club said the material sent to European football's governing body amounted to "evidence of extraordinary gravity" relating to the payments.
The case centers on financial transactions between Barcelona and a former senior figure in the body responsible for overseeing referees in Spanish football, though further specifics of the payments and their purpose were not included in the available reporting.
Barcelona's past dealings with referee-linked officials have drawn scrutiny in Spanish football previously, and this latest submission from Real Madrid suggests the matter is continuing to be pursued at the European level.
UEFA's response to the dossier, and any next steps it may take, were not detailed in the source material.
The report was carried by the BBC.
