BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Luis Rubiales, the former president of Spain’s soccer federation, denied any wrongdoing Monday when he was questioned by an investigating judge as part of her probe into alleged corruption related to staging the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. After hearing his testimony, the judge ordered Rubiales to appear once a month in person at the courthouse and to ask the court for permission if he wants to leave the country. “I am convinced that justice will be served,” Rubiales told reporters after four hours inside the Madrid court. “Never was any money exchanging hands in an irregular manner.” Rubiales stepped down as president of the federation in September after causing an international scandal for kissing Spain player Jenni Hermoso without her consent at the Women’s World Cup final. He is facing a separate trial over that incident after being accused of sexual assault but has also denied any wrongdoing in that case. |
