Affair in Spain
Ex-association boss gets away in the kiss scandal with fine
In the kiss affair of Spanish football, there was a statement against statement until the end. Now there is a milder judgment as required after one and a half years.
In the process of the kiss scandal in Spanish football, former association president Luis Rubiales was guilty of sexual aggression. However, the 47-year-old does not receive a two and a half year prison sentence as required by the public prosecutor. Rubiales was sentenced to a fine of almost 11,000 euros, as can be seen from a statement by the State Court in Madrid.
Rubiales had been accused of sexual aggression and also coercion because he had kissed world champion Jennifer Hermoso at the award ceremony after the final success at the 2023 World Cup in Australia. Hermoso had repeatedly replied and also confirmed in court that the kiss was against her will.
Rubiales must not approach the victim
The defendant was “sentenced to an 18-month fine of 20 euros a day,” said the court in the communiqué. In addition, rubyers are prohibited from approaching the player within a radius of 200 meters and communicating with her for a year.
Hermoso had reported on the first day of the trial that the involuntary kiss after the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Sydney triggered “disgust and disgust” and “overshadowed one of the happiest days of my life”. The 34-year-old had also told that in the days after the World Cup, she was put under pressure by ruby and then association employees so that she did not accuse the matter and not accused the matter.
