Rafael, brother Jenni Hermoso, and a personal friend of the player have expanded before the judge of the Francisco de Jorge National Court more details of what she already told the Prosecutor’s Office about her lack of consent for the kiss on the mouth that the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation Luis Rubiales planted on him at the end of the final held in Australia. His statements have influenced the pressures suffered after the episode for which the former director is accused of alleged crimes of sexual assault and coercion, as indicated by tax sources.
The brother and a friend of the international had been summoned in person before the head of the Central Court of Instruction number 1 this Monday, and their testimonies will be key to determining especially the second crime, the relative to the harassment that the player claims to have suffered after the final so that she would say that the kiss she received in front of the cameras had been consensual.
Shortly after eleven in the morning, Rafael Hermoso was already in the offices of the National Court, although did not make any statement to the journalists who were waiting for him at the doors of the judicial body and limited himself to summoning them to leave. However, he also did not say anything to the press after completing the procedure.
Conversation in the field

The defense, which is exercised by the penalty taker Olga Tubau, seeks to ratify the testimony of Rubiales in the sense that He warned the player that he was going to give her “a little blow” in the middle of the celebration of the victory of the Spanish team in the Sydney stadium.
These citations are added to those of the Marketing Director of the RFEF, Ruben Rivera; the former director of Integrity, Miguel García Caba (fired last Friday); the press officer of the women’s soccer team, Patricia Pérez; and that of the director of the men’s national team, Albert Luke All of them are called to appear before the judge this Thursday as witnesses. These are the Federation workers who, together with the coach Jorge Vilda, who has not been summoned to testify, came to light during Rubiales’ statement on September 15 as allegedly involved in the alleged pressure on the player after the forced kiss.
On Monday it will be the turn of three other witnesses, Hermoso’s teammates in the national team, and who, as confirmed by sources close to the player, EL PERIÓDICO DE ESPAÑA, from the Prensa Ibérica group, are Alexia Putellas, Irene Paredes and Misa Rodríguez. His intervention will foreseeably be by videoconference.
