Joaquín Bilbao said he was resigning for the good of the club

Joaquín Bilbao, the President of Xerez Deportivo, currently top of the second division in Spain, was taken on Thursday to declare in the courts in Jerez de la Frontera.

He and his chauffer are alleged to have taken part in a shooting incident in a bar run by three Russian girls, with the two reported to have returned to the bar after an earlier argument.

The accused face charges of illegal possession of a firearm, and of causing damage and making threats. Both men were released without bail after questioning.

A statement from the club said it was a personal matter and they were not going to comment until the board had studied what has occurred.

A statement later from Joaquín Bilbao announced his resignation so as not to damage the reputation of the club.
