MADRID: Spain’s High Court said on Thursday it had found former soccer federation boss Luis Rubiales guilty of sexual assault for kissing player Jenni Hermoso without her consent, and set a fine of over 10,000 euros ($10,434.00), but acquitted him of coercion. Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence for Rubiales in a case that sparked a debate in Spain about sexism in women’s football and wider Spanish society. “The ruling bans Rubiales from going within a 200-meter radius of Hermoso and from communicating with her for one year,” the court said in a statement. Rubiales, 47, was accused of sexual assault for kissing Hermoso on the mouth.

The trial of Spain’s former football chief Luis Rubiales over the forced kiss he gave star forward Jenni Hermoso wrapped up Friday, with a verdict expected in several weeks.
Barcelona and Spain legend Gerard Pique will appear in court on March 14 in a corruption investigation into the Spanish Super Cup's move to Saudi Arabia, a legal document seen by AFP on Friday showed. The probe has further sullied the image of Spanish football and ensnared disgraced former federation chief Luis Rubiales who was in charge when the decision was made. A Madrid court placed Pique under investigation in May last year over the contracts to take the Super Cup to the oil-rich Gulf country from 2020. The deals are worth 40 million euros ($41.2 million) a year and were brokered by Kosmos, a company owned by Pique, while the former defender was still playing for Barcelona.
