Spanish police on Wednesday briefly arrested disgraced ex-football chief Luis Rubiales on Wednesday in connection with an alleged graft scandal at the RFEF football federation when he was president.


The 46-year-old was detained at Madrid’s Barajas airport shortly after flying in from the Dominican Republic but released shortly afterwards, a Guardia Civil police spokesman said. 


Sources close to the probe said he disembarked from the plane under a police escort before being questioned inside the airport. His arrest came two weeks after investigators searched 11 locations.
