Luis Rubiales Denies Corruption Charges in Court

Former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales refuted allegations of financial misconduct linked to the Spanish Super Cup's Saudi Arabia deal during his court appearance.

Luis Rubiales, ex-president of the Spanish Football Federation, denied any wrongdoing in a corruption probe concerning the Spanish Super Cup's move to Saudi Arabia.
Rubiales faced court questioning on Monday and was ordered to appear monthly and seek permission for international travel.
The investigation includes accusations of money laundering and dishonest administration during Rubiales' tenure from 2018 to 2023.
Rubiales also faces a separate trial for allegedly kissing player Jenni Hermoso without consent, an incident that led to his resignation.
The corruption probe also scrutinizes contracts and dealings with Gerard Piqué's company, Kosmos, although Piqué is not officially under investigation.
