The statements recorded in the National Court trial of Luis Rubiales for the alleged sexual assault and coercion of player Jenni Hermoso are over. The decision adopted by the judge, Francisco de Jorge, and after the statements made by the player were leaked to the Prosecutor’s Office and resulted, as a result of this complaint, in the opening of criminal proceedings against the former president of RFEF.
The judge did not just set out to find who may have leaked these images that were broadcast yesterday on Telecinco and which are considered secret within the summary. Furthermore, and to avoid a repeat of such a chapter, it decided to ban the recording of statements. From now on, they will be translated, a mechanism that has been used historically.
Mechanism that has already begun to be implemented on the occasion of the demonstrations scheduled for this Tuesday. Both from the former national coach and former sports director of women’s football, Jorge Vilda, as well as the statement of the marketing manager, Ruben Rivera. None of them became grenades but were transcribed. The two arrived as investigators.
And the same will happen from now on. Starting with the planned appearance also as an investigator of the director of the national team, Albert Luque, or one of the 20th in which the men’s national coach, Luis de la Fuente, was summoned as a witness. And initially it will continue to happen with other witnesses and investigators that the judge may call.
