The … bad loss in Spanish football continues, after yesterday’s police “raid” on the offices of the country’s football federation and the arrests of agents.

The investigation, which has been ordered by the Madrid prosecutor’s office, concerns allegations of violations of contracts and agreements over the past five years.

The president of the federation during this period was Luis Rubialeswho has now left, as he was excluded from the FIFA for the next three years, from any activity related to the sport. The reason was the inappropriate kiss on Jenny Hermosoin awarding the final of the Women’s World Cup, which was won by the Spanish national team.

In fact, the prosecution ordered his arrest late at night Rubiales and six more agents, who continue to work in the federation and are considered people of the former president. THE Rubiales however, he is in the Dominican Republic and judicial authorities have requested his extradition to Spain.

According to Spanish media, police have also searched homes, related to other allegations of corruption and money laundering and there is also another ongoing investigation into the transfer of the Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.

In fact, the specific decision was jointly signed by the then president of the federation and the businessman and former Barcelona football player, Gerard Pique.
