Overview
- Video from the Madrid presentation shows three eggs thrown at Luis Rubiales, with one striking his back as the thrower shouted “scoundrel.”
- The assailant was subdued and detained; police confirmed the arrest of a Spanish man, while Rubiales identified the attacker as his uncle, Luis Rubén, a claim not confirmed by authorities.
- Rubiales told Spanish media he feared the man might be armed and said he plans legal action after being restrained by attendees as he moved toward the attacker.
- The event promoted Rubiales’ book, Matar a Rubiales, in which he presents his account of the 2023 kiss and alleges a media and political conspiracy against him.
- Rubiales remains under a €10,800 fine, a one-year no-contact order with Jennifer Hermoso, and a three-year FIFA ban following his conviction for sexual aggression earlier this year.
