Luis Rubiales Faces Retrial Over World Cup Kiss
Spanish prosecutors are demanding a retrial for Luis Rubiales, who was convicted of sexual assault for kissing Jenni Hermoso without consent after Spain's 2023 World Cup win.
While Rubiales was fined €10,800 for the kiss, he was cleared of coercion charges, leading prosecutors to appeal for a new trial with a different judge.
The controversial kiss ignited protests and calls for Rubiales's resignation, which he eventually submitted to in September 2023 after FIFA's suspension.
