MADRID - Former Real Madrid president
Lorenzo Sanz was arrested on Friday after a complaint from a
financial institution but released without charges, a
government official said.
Sanz, president of the Spanish club from 1995-2000 when
they twice won the European Cup and collected a league title,
was questioned by investigators in Cordoba, a representative
for the Spanish government in Andalusia told state radio.
He had been detained, along with two other people, said
Juan Jose Lopez Garzon.
Sanz was subsequently released without charges. "I had to
go through the inconvenience of making a statement about a
matter which I had nothing to do with and which they wanted to
mix me up with," Sanz told reporters on his release.
