The former president of the Spanish federation is in the Dominican Republic while he has another side open: that of the transfer of the Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, in exchange for millionaire commissions.
The world comes to Luis Rubiales. Last week was marked by searches at the headquarters of the Spanish Football Federation, the body he chaired, over the million-dollar deal that brought the local Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, with subsequent commissions , in an operation that involves Kosmos, Gerard Piqué’s production company. There is a warrant for his arrest .
This one won’t be silent either. The prosecution requested two and a half years in prison against the leader, also sanctioned by FIFA, as part of the investigation into the non-consensual kiss and coercion he exercised against footballer Jenni Hermoso . The incident occurred during the awards ceremony of the World Cup final in Australia and New Zealand, in which the Iberians won the title.
Others involved
According to the newspaper El País, Rubiales is not the only one targeted. “Furthermore, The prosecution also requires an additional year and a half in prison for the offense of coercion. For this last offense, the same sentence is also requested for Albert Luque, sports director of the federation, for the former women’s coach Jorge Vilda, and for the marketing director Rubén Rivera. “, specifies the publication.
Furthermore, the prosecution requires strong precautionary measures. For the four defendants, The ban on communicating with Hermoso and the ban on approaching him within a radius of 200 meters were requested for seven years and six months in the case of Rubiales and four years in the cases of Luque, Vilda and Rivera. .
In the Caribbean
The demands are broader. For Rubiales A special ban on working in the sports field was also requested during the sentence. and that the measure of supervised release be applied to him for two years.
The problem lies in the application of the measures. These days, Rubiales is based in the Dominican Republic, a country he originally moved to to start a new life, although in the Spanish press he is already linked to a million-dollar real estate business. .
Rubiales promised to return to Spain on April 6 , to make itself available to the country’s courts. Last week it was reported that the current former director could object to extradition under Dominican regulations. In this case, its possible delivery would depend on the will of the Central American country. In this country, he could even stay up to 25 years, during which time the crimes with which he is accused would be prescribed. .
