The prosecutor also accused Luque, current sports director of the Spanish women’s team, of forcing Hermoso to say that the kiss was consensual.

Luque scored one Premier League goal in two seasons at Newcastle and left the club in 2007.

Former Spain coach Jorge Vilda and Rubén Rivera, marketing director of the RFEF, were accused of the same crime.

All three denied any wrongdoing when they appeared in court.

De Jorge said in his written ruling that he believed there was sufficient evidence to proceed with an indictment against the three men for their “concerted action,” agreed upon with Rubiales, to try to “break Jennifer Hermoso’s will and get her to agree to record “. A video that said the kiss had been “consensual” while the controversy surrounding the action of the former head of the Spanish Football Federation exploded.

And he accused Albert Luque of showing up unannounced at a hotel where Jennifer was to convince her to participate in the video even though she rejected Rivera’s requests to speak with him about his public support for Rubiales.

If the court were to convict Rubiales and impose the sentence requested by the prosecutor, he would not necessarily have to go to prison.

The Spanish Penal Code allows judges to ‘exceptionally’ suspend the execution of the sentence if, as in this case, none of the sentences imposed individually exceed two years.
