RUBIALES TELLS SPANISH COURT HE WILL RETURN FROM CARIBBEAN, COOPERATE WITH
CORRUPTION PROBE

FILE - President of the Spanish Federation, Luis Rubiales, left, and Saudi
General Sport Authority GSA chairman Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal carry
the Spanish super cup during a press conference in Jiddah Saudi Arabia,
Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2019. Spanish police have arrested at least six people and
raided the offices of the Spanish soccer federation as part of a corruption and
money laundering investigation that includes suspicions regarding the
federation’s deal with Saudi Arabia to take the Spanish Super Cup to the Middle
Eastern country. Spain’s Guardia Civil said that they raided the federation’s
offices near Madrid and a residence belonging to former federation president
Luis Rubiales in the southern city of Granada. Police said that Rubiales was not
among the six arrested. (AP Photo/Amr Nabil, File)

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Former Spanish soccer boss Luis Rubiales says he will
return to Spain to face a judicial probe into the business deal to hold the
Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, court officials said on Thursday.

Rubiales was in the Dominican Republic when police raided a property belonging
to him in Granada and the offices of the Spanish Football Federation in Madrid
on Wednesday in a corruption and money laundering investigation. Officers made
seven arrests. Rubiales was identified as one of five additional individuals put
under investigation.

A court official told The Associated Press that Rubiales’ lawyer informed a
Madrid-based court in the hours after the raids that he was willing to cooperate
with authorities and had plans to fly home on April 6, but that he would be
willing to come sooner if requested by a judge.



Rubiales’ lawyer included a copy of his plane ticket to fly back from the
Dominican Republic. The court official spoke on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to speak publicly about the case.

No arrest warrant has been issued by the court for Rubiales or any other person
of interest in the case.

Netanyahu takes witness stand in trial for alleged corruption
13 women convicted in Cambodia of acting as pregnancy surrogates for foreigners

The office for Spain’s state prosecutors said 11 premises were raided for
documents on Wednesday.

During his time as president of Spanish soccer, Rubiales overhauled the format
of the Spanish Super Cup in 2020, creating a four-team mini tournament and
moving the competition to Saudi Arabia as part of a deal that was reportedly
worth 40 million euros (then $42 million) per tournament for the federation.



Prosecutors opened a probe of that deal in 2022 following leaked audio between
Rubiales and then-Barcelona player Gerard Piqué regarding millions of dollars in
commissions. Piqué's sports entertainment company Kosmos was involved in the
deal with the federation and Saudi Arabia.

A company official told the AP that no employee of Kosmos has been detained or
placed under investigation and no property of the company has been raided.



Rubiales stepped down in September after causing an international scandal for
kissing Spain player Jenni Hermoso without her consent at the Women’s World Cup
final. He is facing a trial for allegedly sexually assaulting Hermoso. He has
denied any wrongdoing.
