• Police identified the attacker as Luis Rubén Rubiales López and detained him for material damage after a partition valued at €20,000 was broken.
• Rubiales said he immediately recognized the assailant as his uncle and described him as a long‑time troublemaker.
• The book, titled “Matem Rubiales,” advances claims of a media and political conspiracy and highlights revenue growth at the RFEF, including deals such as the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
• Rubiales was convicted over the non‑consensual kiss of Jenni Hermoso, fined about $12,500, and remains banned by FIFA until 2026, while he continues to insist the kiss was consensual and declines to apologize.
