Footballer Hermoso offered to file a sex crime report
Prosecutor’s Office of the National Court of Spain launched an investigation against the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales. Investigative proceedings are opened after complaints filed against the functionary.
Prosecutors have asked Spain’s Jennifer Hermoso, who was kissed on the lips by Rubiales during the 2023 World Cup awards ceremony, to file a sexual assault complaint.
The decision to open an investigation was made after Hermoso’s public statements that she did not consent to a kiss with Rubiales.
Recall that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee temporarily suspended Rubiales from any activity related to football at the national and international levels for 90 days – until the completion of disciplinary proceedings opened against the Spanish functionary on August 24.
UEFA decided not to take any action or interfere in Rubiales’ case. Also, the organization will not remove the RFEF.
Rubiales refused to resign as president of the RFEF. At the same time, the players of the Spanish national team refused to play for the national team while the federation has a current leadership.
Rubiales has been the head of the RFEF since May 2018 and is also the Vice President of UEFA.
