FC Barcelona legend Gerard Pique has been implicated in a corruption and money laundering scandal that has rocked the football world. The investigation's main prosecutor has suggested that Pique's involvement could be as serious as that of Luis Rubiales, the disgraced former Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) chief.
The probe, which also involves Rubiales, centers around contracts related to the Spanish Super Cup being held in Saudi Arabia. Pique's company, Kosmos, is alleged to have played a role in taking the competition to the Middle East, leading to suspicions of illegal commissions amounting to €24 million ($26 million).
