Spanish Prosecutor Requests Retrial in Rubiales Case

The prosecutor in Spain has requested a re-examination of the case in which former Spanish president Luis Rubiales is accused of sexual assault during the football match of the Spanish team. The news about the request to hold a repeat hearing on this case was announced shortly after the prosecutor expressed disagreement with the ruling of Rubiales, who was recognized innocent in July.

The defense will present its conclusions regarding this request for a case review, and then the prosecution will make its decision. The defendant stated that he is satisfied, since he had the opportunity to defend his honor and innocence. Now he is ready to wait for the final decision and will be waiting to see if the case will be reviewed.
