Spanish soccer’s former chief Luis Rubiales was found guilty on Feb. 20 of sexually assaulting a player after kissing her on the lips following Spain’s victory in the 2023 Women’s World Cup final.
The ex-president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) dodged a custodial sentence but was handed a fine of more than 10,000 euros (about $10,500) in Spain’s National Court.
