The president of the Spanish Football Federation is targeted by a preliminary investigation for “sexual assault”.
Obviously, we must not forget the notion of presumption of innocence from which Luis Rubiales benefits. Still, the president of the Spanish Football Federation is targeted by the justice of his country.
The prosecution has opened a preliminary investigation for “ sexual assault » presumed for the kiss, a priori forced, that he had imposed on Jennifer Hermoso, during the presentation of the trophy for the final of the Women’s World Cup.

Justice invites the Spanish world champion to contact her to possibly file a complaint, indicates a press release sent to theAFP.
The investigations will focus on “facts which could constitute a crime of sexual assault”, said the public prosecutor.
Last week, Fifa suspended Luis Rubiales from all football duties for three months, ordering him not to come into contact with Jennifer Hermoso and those around him.
