Pique under investigation in Spain corruption case

A Spanish court has opened an official inquiry into former Barcelona and Manchester United defender Gerard Pique for his alleged involvement in a deal that saw the Spanish Super Cup relocated to Saudi Arabia.

In exchange for brokering the arrangement, Pique's company Kosmos signed agreements with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) worth 40 million euros (£34 million), while the RFEF would earn 400 million euros (£340 million).

According to Judge Delia Rodrigo, the agreements had "possible illegalities with criminal implications".
