On Tuesday, a Spanish legal panel began an investigation into the suspended soccer chief for a World Cup kiss incident. The incident occurred in 2018 when the former president of the Spanish Football Federation, Angel Maria Villar, was seen kissing a female referee during a World Cup match.
The Spanish legal panel is investigating whether or not Villar violated the country’s code of conduct for sports officials. The panel is also looking into whether or not Villar used his position of power to influence the referee’s decision.
The incident has sparked outrage among many in the soccer community, with some calling for Villar to be removed from his position. Others have argued that the kiss was merely a sign of respect and that no further action should be taken.
The investigation is expected to take several months and will involve interviews with witnesses and other relevant parties. It is unclear what the outcome of the investigation will be, but it could lead to disciplinary action against Villar if he is found to have violated the code of conduct.
This incident has highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in soccer. It has also raised questions about how officials should behave in the sport and whether or not they should be held to a higher standard than players.
No matter what the outcome of the investigation, it is clear that this incident has sparked a much-needed conversation about how soccer officials should conduct themselves. It is also a reminder that those in positions of power should always be held to a higher standard and should be held accountable for their actions.
