Alexandre "Sandro" Rosell Feliu (Catalan pronunciation: ['sand?u ru'ze?]; born 6 March 1964) is a Spanish businessman.
He was the president of FC Barcelona from 2010 to 2014.
With an MBA degree from ESADE, Rosell is known for being the running mate and senior adviser of Joan Laporta during the presidential elections at FC Barcelona in 2003.
In 2017, Rosell was jailed without bail as part of a money laundering investigation related to buying television rights for past matches of the Brazilian national team.
On 24 April 2019, after a total of 643 days of pre-trial detention and with the provisional release of Rosell having been rejected on as much as 13 occasions, Spanish courts fully acquitted Rosell.
Human rights advocates as well as journalists have called in question the excessive use by the Spanish judiciary of pre-trial detention measures such as in the case of Rosell as well as in relation to the on-going pre-trial detention of Catalan politicians and Catalan civil leaders Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sànchez.
