Spanish FA Suspended Spanish football chief is facing corruption charges

Suspended Spanish football chief Angel Maria Villar moved 2.5 million euros from Swiss to Spanish bank accounts between May, 2014, and June, 2017, in what appear to be inflated salary payments for his work with UEFA and FIFA, according to El Confidencial.

The media outlet claims that sources in the Spanish police say the amount is a lot higher than the RFEF president should have been earning.

Also there is little coherency among the payments as he was in these roles at UEFA and FIFA for many years and yet these payments were packed into just over three years.

Villar apparently received 250,000 from FIFA and 70,000 from UEFA in 2014; 248,130.28 from FIFA and 70,000 from UEFA in 2015; 1,021,735 from FIFA and 775,000 from UEFA in 2016 and in January, 2017, 6,302 from FIFA as well as another 149,990 in June of that year.

El Confidencial goes on to say that Villar's salary from FIFA was 281,919 euros in 2016 and yet he earned four times as much. "As a result it indicates that they are extra payments," a police source told El Confidencial.

Villar was arrested in July and is currently awaiting trial over corruption charges.
