MADRID (Reuters) - The head of Spain's soccer federation and FIFA vice-president Angel Maria Villar will be held in custody without bail pending an investigation into corruption allegations, a Spanish High Court judge ruled on Thursday.

Villar, along with his son Gorka and two other soccer executives, was arrested on Tuesday after a police raid on several offices. The four were detained on allegations of collusion, embezzlement and falsifying documents.
