Luis Rubiales: Started process of kissing scandal in Spain

The main accused Luis Rubiales followed the shocking statements about the start of the process in the Spanish kiss scandal from the dock with a stone expression. Also as a football world champion Jennifer Hermoso said that the involuntary kiss after the final of the Women’s World Cup 2023 triggered “disgust and disgust” and “overshadowed one of the happiest days of my life” there was no emotion from the former Spanish association boss, as reporter reported on site.

The alleged victim, world champion Jennifer Hermoso, confirmed to the State Court in Madrid on Monday that she was kissed onto her mouth against her will at the award ceremony in Sydney. She also complained about a real gauntlet, even with threats to death in the days and weeks after her team’s final victory over England (1-0).

Rubiales are accused of sexual aggression and coercion. The 47-year-old ex-professional threatens a multi-year prison sentence. Three other former association employees are accused of coercion. Rubiales have always assured his innocence and speaks of a mutual kiss.

Hermoso answered safely and in a firm voice to questions both the prosecutor and defense. She assured that she was put under pressure in the days after the World Cup by Rubiales and then association employees so that she would downplay the matter and did not accuse rubial.

Most of them shaken the words of Hermoso about the long suffering that she had to endure due to the scandal. “There were cameras in front of my house around the clock, people chased me on the street and took photos of me, for a while I was afraid to take to the streets,” reported the 34 -year -old striker, who was currently in Feminil in Mexico plays. She also received death threats and eventually made the decision to “leave Madrid with the whole family”.

The scandal overshadowed the World Cup triumph of the Spaniards in August 2023. In the course of the affair, Rubiales resigned a little later as head of the National Association RFEF. He was then banned by the World Association FIFA for three years. Rubiales have rejected all allegations several times and until the end. He and the remaining defendants should be heard from February 12th. The hearing runs until February 19. The announcement of the judgment is only expected after a few days or weeks.

In addition to rubies, ex-women’s national coach Jorge Vilda, former RFEF sports director Albert Luque and the former marketing director of the association, Rubén Rivera, took place in the Madrid suburb of San Fernando de Henares. The public prosecutor demands two and a half years for ruby. He should also compensate the victim with 50,000 euros. One and a half years in prison are required for each of the three co -accused. However, prison terms of up to two years are usually exposed to probation in Spain.

The ex-President of the Spanish Football Association must not get closer to the player Jenni Hermoso than 200 meters. The Supreme Court of Spain decided that after the kiss scandal at the World Cup celebration.
