FIFA confirms Spanish Football Federation President under investigation
Online Edition
The President of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Angel Maria Villar was among the list of 11 directors of FIFA who are now under investigation for wronging which was published by the FIFA ethics committee on Wednesday.
Although the exact reason for the investigation has not been made clear, it is thought to be related to the possible purchase of votes in the adjudication of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals, in Russia and Qatar.
Villar, who has been the RFEF President since 1988, is arguably the most powerful man in world football at the moment, given that he is Vice-President of UEFA and FIFA, whose respective Presidents, Michel Platini and Josep Blatter are currently suspended while under investigation for corruption.
Villar is also the President of the refereeing commissions of both organizations and sits on their legal commissions and has been called as a witness at the forthcoming proceedings over the adjudications of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
