Spanish prosecutors have announced they are seeking a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for the country’s former FA chief Luis Rubiales over the infamous ‘Kissgate’ scandal.
They laid out their pre-trial demands in a six-page indictment made public, including a €100,000 compensation to Jenni Hermoso if he is convicted at trial.
Madrid-based judge Francisco de Jorge paved the way for Rubiales to be tried earlier this year after recommending he be put in the dock, insisting that his long-running probe had uncovered ‘solid evidence’ pointing to the potential illegality of the kiss.
Rubiales is also at the centre of a separate corruption probe over a multi-million-euro deal to relocate the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.
