Overview
- The incident occurred in Madrid during a presentation of his book "Matar a Rubiales," with video showing an unknown man throwing several eggs.
- The first egg missed, a second struck Rubiales in the back, a third was deflected by his hand, and the assailant was quickly restrained and removed.
- Rubiales used the event to advance his account of the 2023 World Cup kiss, alleging a media and political conspiracy and stating he will not return to the federation.
- His February 2025 conviction for sexual aggression includes a €10,800 fine and a one-year no‑contact order with Jennifer Hermoso, and the appeals court upheld the ruling.
- He remains under a three-year FIFA suspension imposed after the kiss incident.
