“I have my accounts blocked, I do not have the possibility of paying for a Coca Cola, without having proven that I have done anything wrong. My accounts have been blocked here in the Dominican Republica day ago and those of Spain four or five days ago.” This is how forceful it has been Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), in the interview he gave in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) to Ana Pastor of ‘La Sexta’ just before flying to Madrid. He has explained that she feels like a victim “of a media lynching”, in addition to denying all the accusations she has received.
“I haven’t done anything, I haven’t done anything. Now I have to start from scratch having all my accounts blocked. “Do they have to block an investigator’s accounts?” Rubiales asked, indicating that “many people I trust have been arrested.” But I doubt that anyone has committed an irregularity“, has added.
“Why can’t I be in the Dominican Republic? Four or five months ago my bank in Spain told me that it does not want to work with me“, commented the former president of the RFEF, indicating that “I have never taken a bite. Never. But I have suffered such a great media beating that it was impossible for me to work in Spain. Not only in Spain, but in Asia,” added the former leader.
“I earned what I earned and everything I have is the product of my work and my savings. Those savings are what I have transferred here. But now it has been blocked for me. I’ve never had a bite. Never”, Rubiales has insisted on several occasions, who has denied any connection with the construction company that carried out works in the RFEF sports city in Las Rozas.
“I have not taken a bite from Piqué. Nor has he offered it to me”
“I have nothing to do with it. While I have been president I have not worked with that construction company“, commented the former president of the Federation, who then addressed the granting of the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia. “No, I have not taken any bite,” he insisted regarding his relationship with Piqué. “I have not had business in Arabia. Never. I wish I had because I have a family to move forward. I have the right to earn a living,” said the former leader.
“It was Kosmos who brought Saudi Arabia. The journalist released a story knowing it was false. He said that we gave it to Saudi for an amount lower than what Qatar did. It is false. We chose the best offer. Qatar’s was not even an offer,” Rubiales revealed. “It was an intention and the offer declines. Many clubs were saved with that money. The filters were passed. It is investigated because there are complaints. I have not been bitten by Piqué. He hasn’t even offered it to me“, commented the former president.
“Is anyone convicted? The investigations must be carried out to the end. Have I spoken to anyone from the Government? Since I was forced to resign,” Rubiales explained, denying that he has done business in Cape Verde as he is accused of. “I don’t have business in Cape Verde, but I had all the right in the world. They probably tell you if you know businessmen in the sector. We have helped many people. If it does not harm and benefit someone…”, he added.
“Mobile Dump”
Rubiales believes that he should not talk about the electoral process that the Federation will experience. “I’m not the one to talk about the elections. I don’t know if the intention is to exterminate everyone who has known me. They made a good team. Income increased and the World Cup was won. “I don’t think the World Cup is in danger,” said the former leader, indicating that “I have never been with a prostitute and I find it embarrassing to give explanations about such intimate matters.”
In that sense, Rubiales has denied that he has engaged in espionage. “It has already been said who was the one who recorded. I realized that he was recording. About this person, my uncle, I have tried to make a division between everything he has given me and then he decided something else. “I am willing to undergo a truth serum to see if I have ever been with a prostitute,” the former leader reiterated from Punta Cana where the interview was recorded before flying to Madrid.
About the non-consensual kiss Jenni Hermoso, Rubiales has asked Ana Pastor “not to manipulate the questions”, urging her to “look in the eyes.” Then she gave more explanations. “There was nothing sexual. There are the subsequent images and videos. Let everyone have their opinion. In no case has there been sexual assault. She herself came out to deny it,” commented the former president of the Federation.
“Jenni Hermoso? There was nothing sexual. There are the subsequent images and videos. Let everyone give their opinion. In no case has there been sexual assault. She herself came out to deny it and then changed her version.”
“Mrs. Hermoso changed her version, but not on the plane. The moment there is pressure, she changes… What happens? Coercion? I only spoke for 10 or 15 seconds on the plane and I asked if we could go out together to explain it,” Rubiales said. “I have not attacked Mrs. Hermoso. There is nothing here and then, after six or seven days, after the famous trip to Ibiza, there is a written statement,” added the former leader.
Rubiales wanted his first reaction in which described as “silly, idiots…” it was a mistake and he had already apologized. “It was a reaction at the time. But saying that I would say it now is a manipulation. Whoever sees the images, it cannot be a sexual assault, between two friends, with a question, there was nothing sexual, she tells me ‘okay.’ …There are the images,” he insisted.
