Luis Rubiales to face trial for World Cup kiss-gate as prosecutors push for 2-and-half-year prison sentence and a restraining order over Jenni Hermoso
Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish FA, is poised to stand trial for his involvement in the World Cup kiss controversy. Rubiales, aged 46, kissed Spain player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the Women's World Cup final last August. He resigned from his position amid intense pressure following the incident and now faces a trial where prosecutors are seeking a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence and a restraining order against Hermoso. Rubiales maintains his innocence and insists that the kiss was consensual, expressing his views on the matter in various interviews.
