The former women’s football selector Jorge Vilda, who faces a penalty of a year in jail for a crime of coercion, has denied Wednesday in his statement before the judge to have pressed Jenni Hermoso’s brother to get her to come out publicly to subtract Importance to the kiss that Luis Rubiales had imposed on the mouth during the celebration of the victory of the Women’s World Cup.
Vilda has acknowledged that during the return flight of Sydney he did approach the family member, but he did it to ask him to look for a “formula” – who went out to talk or make “some kind of communication” – and thus be able to “normalize the situation” . He has denied that he warned him of possible “professional and personal consequences” if he did not access his claims, as Rafael Hermoso told the judge.
Vilda, who was dismissed after the scandal, has appeared as a defendant against the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and his circle of trust for alleged crimes of sexual aggression and coercion. During the interrogation, she has tried to confront the version of the player’s brother, who assured that Vilda pressed her to convince the player to publicly go out to subtract importance to the kiss that the then federative president had given her.
