# Spanish Police Raids Football Federation Headquarters in Corruption Investigations

The Spanish police announced that they have raided the headquarters of the football federation as part of corruption investigations. The Attorney General stated that the operation is part of a broader investigation linked to allegations of mismanagement and money laundering. A total of 11 searches were conducted throughout the country, and the Attorney General expects to arrest seven individuals. While the Civil Guard and undercover agents searched the federation's offices, the Spanish national team was training at the adjacent stadium in preparation for friendly matches against Colombia on Friday in London and Brazil on Tuesday. Authorities prevented federation employees from entering the building. Media present to cover the training and conduct interviews with players were closely monitored during the search, which began at 9:30 AM. A source from the federation informed Reuters that the search also included the home of former president Luis Rubiales in Andalusia. Footage showed Civil Guard officers leaving an apartment in Granada city center carrying a cardboard box labeled "Luis Rubiales" along with several other bags.
