After months out of the spotlight, former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, is back in the public eye. He has presented his book. Kill Rubialeswhere he discusses the non-consensual kiss with Jenni Hermoso and his forced departure from the RFEF (Royal Spanish Football Federation). It's a controversial topic that has garnered significant media attention and was the subject of an incident in Madrid this Thursday. While Rubiales was giving the presentation, a man in the audience interrupted the event by throwing eggs at him.

Dressed in a jacket and avoiding comment to the media, Gerard Piqué arrived at the 4th Court of Instruction in Majadahonda on Friday to testify as a suspect for the role he played, along with the former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, in the negotiations that brought the Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, for which he received a bonus of more than 4 million euros annually through his company, Kosmos.

I read in the NOW that The Prosecutor's Office requests that the trial of Luis Rubiales be repeated, convicted as a sexual aggressor for the non-consensual kiss on Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup celebrations. The news explains, by the way, that after this first trial Jenni Hermoso said that "although she welcomed a conviction, she thought that the sentences for the accused were insufficient, especially for the crime of coercion, of which they had been acquitted." For both things, Rubiales was asked for two years and six months in prison: one for sexual assault and one and a half for coercion. And I am referring to it because yesterday I was watching a documentary on Netflix about the trial of the Pelicot case. No, you don't need to look at it, the Pelicot case only has the name, and it is a croquette with four pieces of ham and kilos of bechamel from a jar, in the shape of a girl and a boy, who were passing by, who have suffered abuse, and who do it back, given that the woman who gives the dish its title does not come out making statements. The point is that the aggressor, a true aggressor, someone who assaulted the woman and offered her to others while drugged, will spend 20 years in prison, as requested by the prosecution. And among the accomplices is a 32-year-old delivery man, guilty of aggravated gang rape, who will spend seven years, and a 63-year-old pensioner, guilty of the same crime plus the administration of drugs, who is sentenced to five years, but will not go to prison.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of the National Court has filed an appeal against the sentence by which the former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales, following the non-consensual kiss on Jenni Hermoso in the World Cup final, was convicted of sexual assault and fined 10,800 euros. In the appeal, the deputy prosecutor, Marta Durántez, requests that the trial be declared null and void for both Rubiales and the other three defendants and that it be retaken, in such a way that evidence that was "unduly denied" to him is admitted and that he can ask the questions that were "and Manuel" to him.

I have a dream and it is this: we are in court for the Rubiales case. The judge gives his verdict and it turns out that yes, what happened (according to the Penal Code) is sexual assault, but he only imposes a fine of ten thousand euros, because there is no coercion (according to the Penal Code). He smiles, relieved, justice has been done, he will not have to go to jail, the nightmare is over. He immediately starts up his mobile phone, which is smoking. There are messages from family, friends, and those at work (where he will not return) celebrating that he has not been sentenced to prison for this madness. His brother-in-law also congratulates him, but regrets the fine, which he considers exaggerated. He smiles and, furtively, while they are still in the courtroom, he writes to him: "It would have been cheaper to go to whores, hehe!"And immediately the brother-in-law answers him:"Well yes, with ten thousand euros, not just a little, but a hundred, man, and with champagne.".

Luis Rubiales, former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), was convicted of sexual assault. This is the important fact of the sentence made public yesterday by the magistrate José Manuel Fernández. Thanks to the courage and perseverance of Jenni Hermoso and the other players who have supported her, it has been judicially proven that the kiss was given without consent or acceptance by the player and, therefore, the act is criminally punishable. The magistrate has given all credibility to the player, and that is relevant because in this case, which has created so much media fuss, the victim's version had been called into question. It is exemplary, and it can help many other women in her situation that there is a clear recognition that it is a condemnable act.

The sentence has already been handed down in the Rubiales case. The National Court has sentenced the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to an 18-month fine for kissing footballer Jenni Hermoso at the medal ceremony for the 2023 Women's World Cup won by the Spanish national team in Sydney (Australia). Thus, Rubiales will have to pay a fine of 20 euros per day for a crime of sexual assault that amounts to a total of 10,800 euros. In addition, he will be prohibited from approaching a radius of 200 meters from Hermoso and from communicating with her for a year.

This week the trial against Luis Rubiales has been seen for sentencing. In other articles we have talked about the kiss, let's talk now about coercion.

The trial of the former president of the Spanish Football Federation Luis Rubiales for the kiss he gave to the footballer Jenni Hermoso during the medal ceremony of the 2023 World Cup has been set for sentencing. As expected, two opposing versions of the events have been contrasted, turning Judge Clemente Fernández-Prieto González into a media figure for his way of conducting a process that, at times, has exhausted his patience. "Although it may seem untrue, we are done. Ready for sentencing," said the magistrate to close the last session of the trial. Despite the seriousness of the events being judged, none of those present could help bursting out in laughter.

He Trial of Luis Rubiales and three other former officials of the Spanish Football Federation –Jorge Vilda, Rubén Rivera and Albert Luque– for the non-consensual kiss on Jenni Hermoso has reached the eighth day of oral proceedings. After the statements of the accused and witnesses proposed by all parties, the lawyers representing those involved in the case have presented their final arguments to Judge Fernández-Prieto.

The former coach of the Spanish women's football team has been the star of the fourth day of statements in the trial for the non-consensual kiss between Luis Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso. Vilda, who began working at the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) in 2006, took over the reins of the Spanish women's national team in 2015 and was dismissed on September 5 due to the scandal surrounding the forced kiss by the former president of the RFEF.

The former coach of the Spanish women's football team, Jorge Vilda, has been the main protagonist of the seventh day of statements in the trial for the non-consensual kiss between Luis Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso. Vilda, who began working at the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) in 2006, took over the reins of the team in 2015 and was dismissed on September 5, 2023 due to the scandal following the forced kiss of the former president of the RFEF.

While the trial for "sexual assault" of Luis Rubiales is taking place, we find the case of Mapi León, who, allegedly, during a match, touches the genitals of her rival. Both alleged "aggressors" (sic) deny, in different ways, the alleged events.

"I was wrong. I behaved like a successful athlete, like one of the group, and at that moment I should have been cold-blooded and played an institutional role. But that is why there is a crime, for nothing." This is how Luis Rubiales explained to the judge the kiss on the mouth that he gave Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup celebrations. Although he admitted that he "messed up", the man accused of sexual assault and coercion has limited his "mistake" to a slip of the tongue because he was the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). In no case, Rubiales has stated, can the kiss on the lips of the Spanish national team player be considered sexual assault.

The celebration of the first World Cup of the Spanish women's soccer team it was altered when the players had not yet lifted the trophy. During the medal ceremony, the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, kissed the mouth of ex-Barcelona player Jennifer Hermoso, one of the players who had started in the final. The action took everyone by surprise, including the footballer herself. "It is a situation of abuse of power of a sexual nature," says Marta Roqueta, a doctoral researcher at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) who is an expert in gender perspective.

There had always been suspicions about Real Madrid's pressures on the Spanish Federation (RFEF) over refereeing, but until now they had not come to light. Beyond public statements of protest, after a specific match where controversial calls had been made, no details of what was happening behind the scenes was known. However, 'El Confidencial' has published some of the messages Sergio Ramos, when captain of Real Madrid, sent RFEF president Luis Rubiales in order to complain about the refereeing and tell him openly that they favoured Barça.
