Luis Rubiales Faces Investigation Over Unwanted Kiss Scandal in Spanish Soccer
TL;DR Summary
Spanish prosecutors have launched an investigation into Luis Rubiales, the boss of Spain's soccer federation, over an unwanted kiss he gave to star player Jenni Hermoso during the Women's World Cup. Rubiales has been provisionally suspended by FIFA, prompting his mother to go on a hunger strike in protest. Rubiales claims the kiss was consensual, but Hermoso says she did not give her permission and felt violated. In response, Hermoso and her teammates have vowed not to play for Spain until Rubiales is removed from his position. The Spanish soccer federation is standing behind Rubiales and threatening legal action against Hermoso.
