Former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales is facing serious legal consequences after being charged with sexual assault and coercion following an unwanted kiss planted on Spain midfielder Jenni Hermoso. The incident led to Rubiales’ resignation and a three-year ban from the sport. Allegations against other officials, including coercion of Hermoso, have surfaced, prompting legal action and a restraining order against Rubiales. Additionally, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has pledged to investigate irregular conduct and ensure transparency in governance amid a broader corruption probe.
