Villar leaves prison on bail

THE suspended president of the Spanish football federation and his son have left a Madrid prison a day after being granted bail. Angel Maria Villar and his son Gorka Villar left the Soto de Real prison on Tuesday. They had spent 12 days in custody since a court sent them to prison while investigators continued their probe into alleged corruption. Judge Santiago Pedraz granted them and another soccer official bail on Monday after having initially denied them bail on July 20 citing flight risks. Pedraz set bail for Angel Maria Villar and suspended federation vice president Juan Padron at 300,000 euros (US$350,000), and for Gorka Villar at 150,000 euros. He also confiscated their passports and ordered that the three suspects make weekly appearances at the court. A state prosecutor has accused them of improper management, misappropriation of funds, corruption and falsifying documents.
