The head of the Central Court of Instruction 1 of the National Court Francisco de Jorge has admitted to processing the complaint filed by the Prosecutor’s Office for crimes of sexual assault and coercion against the former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales for the kiss a player in the final of the women’s soccer World Cup.
In a car, the magistrate agrees on the first steps in this procedure, including obtaining from RTVE the video or videos that they have in their files that show the moment from all angles in which the defendant kisses the complainant, as well as the minutes immediately before and after the event related to the celebration of the victory of the women’s soccer team.
In addition, it requests from the newspaper El País the video of the celebration in the locker room that is posted on the Internet and from the newspaper AS for the moments of the kiss and any others related to the events. For his part, the instructor requested the video of the celebration on the bus of the Spanish women’s soccer team from the newspaper La Vanguardia.
The resolution transfers the Prosecutor’s brief to Rubiales as a defendant so that he can learn about the alleged facts and exercise his right of defense with all procedural guarantees.
