In the statement, the RFEF alleges with images the story told by Luis Rubiales
“The RFEF announces the presentation of as many legal actions as may correspond in defense of the honorability of the president”
After Jennifer Hermoso’s forceful statement calling for the resignation of Luis Rubiales, The Royal Spanish Football Federation has taken action on the matter, and has announced that it will file legal actions in defense of the president’s honor.
This is how the RFEF statement reads: “The RFEF wishes to inform public opinion that the competent bodies of the RFEF that are processing the complaints filed with the Federation have tried to contact Ms. Jennifer Hermoso, having been unsuccessful at all times.
The RFEF announces the presentation of as many legal actions as may correspond in defense of the honorability of the President of the RFEF who has exposed in a clear and simple way how the events that are the cause of conflict and ridicule on the part of broad sectors of the society occurred. society against Mr. President.
The note says (quotation marks attributed to Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso): “I want to clarify that, as seen in the images, at no time did I consent to the kiss that he gave me and of course in no case did I seek to elevate the president. I do not tolerate that my word is questioned, much less that words are invented that I have not said.
In a rule of law, as the president has defended, opinions are countered with facts and evidence and lies are rebutted in court.
The president of the RFEF has wanted to take this issue with the utmost respect for the players and the institutions and only when an unassumable red line has been crossed has he come out publicly to give his version of the facts.
The President’s version of events is verified in the internal files that have been opened, and to date Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso has not responded to any of the requests made.”
