Spain’s ex-football chief Rubiales faces trial on Monday over forced kiss scandal with national player Hermoso
Prosecutors have demanded two and a half years in prison for Rubiales, one year for sexual assault for the forced kiss and 18 months for coercing Hermoso to cover up the scandal. The scandal that rocked Spanish football and wrecked Rubiales’s career broke on August 20, 2023, moments after the women’s national team had clinched World Cup glory by beating England in the final in Sydney.
Outraged by the remarks, Hermoso broke her silence and said she felt “vulnerable and a victim... of an impulsive, macho act, out of place and with no type of consent on my part”. Barcelona star Alexia Putellas, the most-capped player in the national women’s team with two Ballon d’Or trophies to her name, told the documentary the aim was to “protect the president ”, even if it meant “sacrificing” Hermoso.The affair has shown that “the inability of some men to realise they are exerting violence” allowed the incident to happen, said Isabel Valdes, a journalist specialising in gender issues at El Pais daily.
