The bombshell news follows after the registrations at the headquarters of the Federation investigating alleged irregularities in several contracts made in recent years. The police intervention has resulted in seven arrests and numerous confiscated information, but it has not been possible to locate Luis Rubiales, the organization’s former president, as he is out of Spain. The Prosecutor’s Office has already issued an international arrest warrant against Rubiales with the aim of returning to the country as soon as possible so that he can be questioned as investigated in this complex case, as reported by the medium Sport.
Rubiales has been living in the Dominican Republic since February and, allegedly, starting a new professional adventure after his departure from the Federation after the controversial case of the kiss with Jenny Hermoso and his attitude during the celebration of the Women’s World Cup. This Caribbean country has not signed an extradition treaty with Spain, so everything will depend on Rubiales’ willingness to appear in court to clarify the facts. Otherwise, and if he maintains residence in the Dominican Republic, he can hardly be arrested unless he leaves the country.
The Police were indeed able to register his address in Granada despite the fact that he was not present and also incautious material that they will analyze in the coming days. Rubiales will now have to decide with his lawyers the next steps, although he is already weighing this arrest warrant that will be fulfilled the moment he sets foot in Spain. The former president was very surprised by these police actions, but has not commented anything about his situation and his future plans.
Rubiales would have been arrested today by the Police if he had been on Spanish soil, as has happened with several members and advisers in recent years in the Federation. The Prosecutor’s Office has already initiated contacts with the Dominican justice system to try to speed up procedures even though they admit the difficulty of the case. Everything will depend on what Rubiales himself decides to do. The environment of the ex-president denies that he traveled to the Dominican Republic to avoid the action of justice but to start a new life in the Caribbean country.
