Print Edition
SPAIN’S High Court set bail yesterday for suspended Spanish football federation, or RFEF, boss Angel Maria Villar at 300,000 euros (US$352,00) following his arrest on July 18 on allegations of collusion, embezzlement and falsifying documents.
The former Athletic Bilbao and Spain midfielder, who will be obliged to report weekly before the authorities, has had his passport confiscated and must be at the court’s disposition at all times, the High Court said in a statement. Villar, who has denied all the charges against him, was originally refused bail. The former football federation head’s son Gorka, who was also arrested, was set bail of 150,000 euros, while Juan Padron, who looked after the RFEF’s financial affairs, was set bail at 300,000 euros. Villar, 67, had headed the Spanish federation for 29 years. Following the arrest, he resigned from his positions as senior vice president and member of the decision-making FIFA Council, which he had sat on since 1998. He also stood down from his senior role at UEFA.
