The RFEF representative is suspended for 90 days; The sanction imposed by FIFA could be up to 15 years
UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin spoke for the first time on the Luis Rubiales episode. The representative of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is accused of sexually harassing player Jenni Hermoso following a kiss on her mouth during the women’s World Cup medal ceremony.
In an interview with the French newspaper ‘L’Équipe’, Čeferin repudiated the action of Rubiales, who claimed to have had the consent, denied by the attacker herself, and affirmed that the case is FIFA’s responsibility.
– I am a lawyer and one of the vice presidents of FIFA. His case is in the hands of the FIFA disciplinary body. Any comment he made would sound like pressure. I just have to say that it saddens me that an event like this tarnishes the Spanish team’s victory. We should change things Today I sat down with Laura McAllister (VP of UEFA) to find ways to change the way we behave. We have to do more her-she said she.
Luis Rubiales will be absent for 90 days, but the sentence can be extended. FIFA is considering extending the maximum penalty, which can go up to 15 years of suspension from any executive role in football.
– Obviously what he did was inappropriate. We all know that. I hope you know it was inappropriate. For now this is enough because the independent disciplinary bodies will decide. It is suspended from any function, anywhere. There’s no need to suspend him twice,” he added.
