His lawyer said that her client would return home from the Dominican Republic on April 6th. Whether Rubiales will actually be arrested upon his return, as various Spanish media reported, depends on the decision of the elite UCO unit of the Spanish police Guardia Civil (Civil Guard), said the justice spokesman. It is responsible, among other things, for economic crimes and had searched the RFEF offices in Madrid and, among other things, Rubiales’ home in Granada the day before as part of investigations that began in 2022. The UCO can arrest people, which then has to be confirmed by a court, the spokesman explained.
