Police have confirmed they are raiding the Spanish Football Federation headquarters in an anti-corruption investigation.

The president of the federation, Angel Maria Villar, has been arrested as part of the raid. Villar is also the vice-president of both Fifa and Uefa.

Villar’s son, Gorka, as well as several other executives were also arrested on allegations of collusion, fraud and embezzlement, police said in a statement.

The other three men who were arrested were Juan Padron, the federation 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 corruption as part of a probe into the finances of the federations.

Spain's minister of education, culture and sport, Inigo Mendez de Vigo, told national television moments after the raids that "in Spain the laws are enforced, the laws are the same for all, and nobody, nobody is above the law."

Uefa said in a statement it "is aware of the reports regarding Mr. Villar Llona. We have no comment to make at this time."
