Former president of the Spanish Football Federation Luis Rubiales, who was convicted of sexual harassment for a kiss imposed on player Jenni Hermoso, on Thursday managed to dodge two eggs thrown at him by a spectator during the presentation of his book.
According to several videos posted on social networks, we see the former football boss, in a dark suit and sitting on a bench, escaping two consecutive eggs thrown at him while he was presenting his book, entitled “Killing Rubiales”, in Madrid. The former leader of the RFEF, the Spanish federation, then set off to chase the egg thrower before being detained by other participants. The presentation then appeared to resume normally.

The day before, Luis Rubiales again belittled the kiss he surprisingly gave Jenni Hermoso after the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney on August 20 2023 and resulted in him being fined 10,800 euros. He even said that he was the victim of a “far left” plot, insisting that this kiss was “consensual”, which the performer always denied.
Another ongoing case, this time corruption
His book aims to denounce, in his own words, the “public murder” of which he was allegedly the victim and claims he was targeted by a “sudden movement of the extreme left” which has created a “parallel reality” to take over the affair. Since the reform of the Spanish Criminal Code, kissing without consent can be considered sexual harassment, a criminal category that combines all types of sexual violence.
Luis Rubiales is also on trial in another case, this time of corruption, surrounding the contract to transfer the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia. The investigation concerns a series of irregular contracts entered into by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) during his term as president, between 2018 and 2023.
Luis Rubiales has denied receiving money in an “irregular” way in this other procedure involving several RFEF leaders and former collaborators and has pushed the Spanish government to put the body under supervision “in the interests” of the country, a potential 2030 World Cup co-host with Morocco and Portugal.
