Spain football chief scandal: Prosecutors start ‘sexual assault’ probe over Rubiales’ kiss
Issued on: Modified:
It’s been another tumultous 24 hours in Spanish football – more than a week after football chief Luis Rubiales kissed a star player on the lips at the women’s world cup final. Yesterday, supporters of Jenny Hermoso filled the streets of Madrid to protest Rubiales and his refusal to resign, saying it spoke to the structural sexism in football. Meanwhile, Rubiales’ mother began an hunger strike – in support of her son. FRANCE 24’s Leo McGuinn and Peter O’Brien tell us more.
