Luis Rubiales Arrested Amid Corruption Probe and Faces Trial for Sexual Assault

The former Spanish soccer federation president denies allegations of corruption and sexual assault, claiming gender bias in his questioning.

Luis Rubiales, ex-president of the Spanish soccer federation, was arrested as part of a corruption investigation upon his return from the Dominican Republic.
Rubiales is also facing a trial for allegedly sexually assaulting Spain player Jenni Hermoso without her consent at the Women's World Cup final.
In interviews, Rubiales denies the corruption and sexual assault allegations, suggesting he is being targeted because he is a man.
The corruption probe involves contracts for the Spanish Super Cup and the federation's links with Seville's La Cartuja Stadium, among other deals.
Rubiales had previously moved the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, a decision criticized by women's and human rights groups.
