Luis Rubiales, the disgraced former president of Spain’s soccer federation who kissed a player on the lips without her consent at the Women’s World Cup final, was arrested Wednesday as part of a separate corruption probe by Spanish police before being released. The Civil Guard said that Rubiales was questioned by police at Madrid’s airport after he was detained upon arriving home from the Dominican Republic. He was released a few hours later, reports the AP. An investigative judge is expected to summon him for more questioning in the coming days. Rubiales was returning to Spain amid a judicial probe into business deals while he ran the federation, including his biggest decision to move the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.
