MADRID (AP) — Spanish Football Federation president Angel Maria Villar was arrested Tuesday along with his son and three more federation executives as part of an anti-corruption probe.

Spain’s Guardia Civil said in a statement that Villar, his son Gorka Villar, and three other soccer officials were detained while raids were carried out at the federation headquarters.

Villar is also a senior vice president of FIFA and senior vice president of UEFA.

Police said the other three men who were arrested were Juan Padron, the federation’s vice president of economic affairs, and the president and the secretary of the regional federation for Tenerife.

Police said the five men were arrested on charges of improper management, misappropriation of funds, corruption and falsifying documents as part of a probe into the finances of the federations. The raids were carried out by the Guardia Civil’s anti-corruption unit as part of an operation called “SOULE.”

Imagine believing that FIFA would deny a world cup to a country because of things its leaders/government have done.

It's a pretty standard bit of temporary seating, just a bit higher than normal and doesn't have the sides on yet. I've sat in similar at F1 races and other events and I'm still alive. That being said, you have to rely on Russia's desire not to look bad on the international stage overcoming local corruption in building and engineering it to really trust it.
