A week of judgment to Rubiales: from the tears that beautiful was kept to the “pressures” in Ibiza

Along the way, already a blow of “chulería” (word of judge) in some and evasive of others, has given the image of an institution at the service of an almight player looks in a situation of that tenor.

If the balance is clear for the image of the Federation, it is unequal between accusations and defenses, with some theses that come out reinforced and others that are not so much. Next week will finally be the turn of the defendants and to expose videos and other evidence. Until then, this have given themselves the four sessions for Beautiful, Rubiales, And also accused Jorge Vilda, Albert Luque and Rubén Rivera.

Jennifer Beautiful, the victim

The player left a phrase on the first session of the trial that is still applauded outside the National Court. “I don’t have to be crying in a room to imply that (the kiss) I did not like it,” I would say, in a clear challenge to the concept of “the good victim”, the one that always behaves how one would expect to the eyes of the eyes of the others, the anguished, the suffered.

However, that has focused a good part of the interrogation of the Lieutenant Prosecutor of the National Court, Marta Durántez, to the teammates, the family and friends of Hermoso who in this first week of judgment have paraded as witnesses before the judge. “How did you see her?” “How did you find her in mind?”he asked, one after another.

At the blow of a statement, the emotional state of the complainant has become a trial element, knocking down the spicy in Flanders how beautiful, it is not known whether for modesty or pride, he left out when he narrated his own experience. Incidentally, the opposite message has been released. Yeah, In the view room it does matter how others perceive the victim. And the witnesses have told the judge that ‘Jenni’ cried a lot. What has not been, by the way, is a psychologist who objective that reality with reports.

It has been evidenced that the professional who had in theory the federation at the service of the players, Javier López Vallejo, Link of FIFA, it was useless. He did not talk to any of those who have declared, either with beautiful, about what was happening to him.

In any case, the story of his experience, especially that of the pressures, has been corroborating for the witnesses directly or collaterally: they saw her get out of the locker room because Rubiales claimed her, they saw her go to meet him in a separate The plane saw her overwhelmed when a press release was imposed that she had not written and have a bad time when Rubén Rivera insisted that he took the phone to integrity or getting off the hotel to receive Luque.

“It wasn’t her,” “I wasn’t”, “I couldn’t enjoy”, “he sat down and started crying,” “I knew they were pressing her,” “something had done,” “He said he didn’t know what he was doing There, he wanted to go home, ”are some of the phrases that have sounded this week.

Luis Rubiales, main accused

In the case of Rubiales -Nevioso in the trial, she does not stop speaking-, his lawyer, Olga Tubau, brewed in worse battles, does not finish showing his cards although occasionally, his strategy is aimed.

In the accusation for sexual assault it has several open fronts. The first is the thesis that beautiful did not file a complaint spontaneously, but was pressured by the Prosecutor’s Office. This was refuted by the prosecutor and the first day, clarifying in the interrogation the player that her lawyers already had the mandate to denounce for sexual aggression before she moved to sign. But there it is.

The second pivot line on consent itself, pending an expert to be practiced next week in which a Lip reading expert He concludes that Rubiales requested permission and presumes that she consented, complicated to show since the image of the moment shows the player on his back and also, the president of the RFEF held his head in such a way that he covered his ears.

The debate about the subjective element of the criminal type remains: if there is no sexual motivation, can it constitute a crime of aggression? Here the heart may be when issuing a sentence, unless before, the experts convince the judge. Until now, all witnesses have stressed that Jennifer Hermoso “did not say at any time that he was spoiled” and have influenced the discomfort, “the disgust”, which caused him. She was also bluntly, by ensuring that neither allowed or would have allowed it.

As for the coercion, Rubiales is indicated so much for the conversations with beautiful , they made her convince her.

Witnesses have put two ideas on the table this week. The first, that this power was real and reached the point of gathering its hard core, including its father, in an office and dictating what a press head should declare in an integrity report without anyone giving up. The second, which in the plane back the nervousness, which remained “multiple meetings” in its area with the objective of setting up the matter.

Jorge Vilda

The former national selecting ends this week somewhat reinforced. The accusation about him rests in two testimonies, those of Jennifer Hermos Saying that the player, at her age, had “little football” to insist on the convenience of folding the “favor” that Rubiales needed.

That he went to that seat to talk to them would be accredited by the players Mass Rodríguez (land continued on the plane to see that he went to the families area) and Laia Codina. The then president of women’s football, Rafael del Amo, listened to Rubiales to indicate the convenience of addressing the brother to try to “settle” the matter. But the tenor of the conversation is key and the former selector already in instruction, denied that it was in those terms. There is no other witness to listen to her and the two that appear, they are intimate of the complainant.

In addition, the video contributed by his defense, the brute of an interview in Antena3 where specifically exculpated Vilda of the information that, as he said, were being published about coercion to families. In the room, Rafael Hermoso said he lied to the journalist to protect his sister, but the one who benefited from his statements was the then coach.

Albert Luque

Shared by ABC sources that the former director of the National Team has not been well stopped in this first week of judgment, especially after the statement as an Ana Ecube witness, the intimate friend of beautiful who traveled with the players to Ibiza and that « To protect her, ”he went down to see Luque when he appeared at the hotel and Rivera insisted that ‘Jenni’ had to talk to him. On Thursday she told the judge who was going from a friend and she asked her to then understand that the player needed her space. The thing was twisted and ended up saying that “Rubiales pays the favors very well” And I was not going to lack work to either.

If you stay in this, it would be a testimony against another. The problem is that later, Luque was downloaded in “unfortunate” messages, his lawyer would say in the room, against Jennifer Hermoso on Ecube phone. Were reproduced in the trial and it is likely that they will be exhibited this week during the documentary test. He wished him the worst and announced that when he arrived, he would be happy. However, Ecube made it clear to defense questions that did not perceive threats or violence against both, which opens the debate about the scope of the criminal type of coercion.

Rubén Rivera

The participation of the one responsible for marketing in the events starts in the expedition to Ibiza, as a reference person of the federation that accompanied them and assisted them in their needs. Both the players and Ecube ratified that as soon as they arrive, at a meal and in a period of less than half an hour, He insisted beautiful that he attended to the RFEF By phone because integrity had to talk to her, to the point of creating a “uncomfortable” situation, which her friend would say and supply the excuse of “I have no drums on the mobile” taking it to plug it in.

The next stage is that same afternoon with Luque’s surprise arrival to the hotel and Rivera “five or six times” telling her beautiful to see him. She started crying, according to Codina, and Ecube went down for her to save.

The point is that before and after both incidents, as during the rest of the expedition, they all followed, including beautiful, Using him naturally For the various things they were in their stay. Mass, to questions from his lawyer, gave a key: “He was a heavy.” This Monday declares Rivera’s wife.
