スペイン連盟前会長に禁錮2年半求刑 女子W杯で選手にキス
AFPは検察が全国管区裁判所に提出した資料を確認した。それによれば、検察側はルビアレス氏に最低5万ユーロ(約818万円)の賠償金支払いも求めている。
ルビアレス氏は、スペインが優勝した昨年8月の女子W杯オーストラリア・ニュージーランド大会の表彰式でエルモソの頭を両手で押さえ、唇に無理やりキスをした。この件は世界中で怒りを呼び、国際サッカー連盟(FIFA)は同氏に資格停止処分を科した。
ルビアレス氏はキスは「同意の上」だったと主張していたが、エルモソは否定していた。
ルビアレス氏は、キスを強要した性的暴行の罪と、その後にキスが同意の上だったと「公に証言」するようエルモソに圧力をかけた脅迫の罪に問われており、検察側はそれぞれの罪に対し禁錮1年と禁錮1年6月を求めている。【翻訳編集AFPBBNews】

Spain prosecutors want Rubiales jailed for 2.5 years for World Cup kiss
Spanish prosecutors are seeking two-and-a-half years jail for disgraced ex-football chief Luis Rubiales who is facing trial for kissing Spain midfielder Jenni Hermoso on the lips against her will, court documents showed Wednesday.
Prosecutors also want Rubiales, who has been charged with sexual assault and coercion, to pay at least 50,000 euros ($54,000) in compensation to Hermoso, they wrote in a document sent to Spain's Audiencia Nacional court, a copy of which was seen by AFP.
During the incident, which took place on August 20 after Spain beat England to win the Women's World Cup final in Australia, Rubiales held Hermoso's head in both hands and forcibly kissed her on the lips.
The kiss took place live in front of the world's cameras, provoking widespread outrage and prompting his suspension by world football governing body FIFA.
At the time, Rubiales brushed it off as a consensual peck on the lips, but Hermoso, 33, said it was not.
Under Spanish law, a non-consensual kiss can be classed as sexual assault -- a criminal category that groups all types of sexual violence.
Rubiales grabbed the player's head with both hands, and surprisingly and without consent or the player's acceptance, he kissed her on the lips, they wrote.
After realising the kiss could have personal and professional consequences with his suspension by FIFA on August 26, Rubiales and his entourage began to exert constant pressure on Hermoso so that she publicly justify the kiss as consensual.
The pressure caused her anxiety and intense stress for several months, they wrote.
Prosecutors requested that the 46-year-old face a year behind bars for the kiss, and 18 months jail for the charge of coercion.
Three of his former associates are also being tried for putting pressure on Hermoso: former women's coach Jorge Vilda, men's team director Albert Luque and RFEF marketing boss Ruben Rivera.
In terms of compensation, prosecutors want Rubiales to pay Hermoso 50,000 euros for the kiss and have said that he and the three other defendants jointly pay her 50,000 euros for the coercion charge.
It was not immediately clear whether the amount would be evenly split.
Hermoso filed a lawsuit against Rubiales in September, telling the judge she had come under pressure to defend him both on the flight back from Australia and on a subsequent team holiday to Ibiza in the Balearic Islands.
