Local media links the raid to investigation into Rubiales’ decision to overhaul the Spanish Super Cup and move it to Saudi Arabia
Luis Rubiales’ house raided by Spanish police during corruption investigationImages captured by Spanish media showed police emerging from an apartment in Granada’s city centre carrying a cardboard box labelled “Luis Rubiales” along with several other bags.
The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia linked the raids to an investigation, launched in 2022, of Rubiales’ decision to overhaul the format of the Spanish Super Cup and move it to Saudi Arabia as part of a deal reportedly worth €40m per tournament for the federation. Piqué, who has played in two Super Cups in Saudi Arabia for Barcelona, has denied wrongdoing or conflict of interest. Shortly after the investigation was launched, Rubiales also denied any wrongdoing. “I am calm because I have not done anything illegal,” he told reporters in 2022.
