According to Marca, the Spanish prosecution has demanded a 15.5-year prison sentence for Ángel María Villar, the former head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.

Villar, a former player for the Spanish national team and Athletic Bilbao, led Spanish football from 1988 to 2017. He also held a prominent position in UEFA, serving as president of the organization from October 2015 to September 2016, between Michel Platini and Aleksander Ceferin.
