Luis Rubiales has become one of the most controversial characters in Spanish football in recent years. The former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation has sparked a multitude of controversies in recent months, from the non-consensual kiss to Jennifer Hermoso to the Civil Guard searches for his contracts with Saudi Arabia. A fact for which he has returned to Spain, awaiting a court summons.
Within this spiral in which the former president finds himself, the comedian Miguel Lago has left some surprising statements in And now Sonsoles. The man from Vigo, known for his monologues in The Comedy Club and his time on Todo es Lie, revealed on the Sonsoles Ónega program that he had received a civil complaint for “attacking his honor”, requesting financial compensation of 50,000 euros for remove it.
This fact dates back to December 2022, in the middle of the Men's World Cup in Qatar. At that time, El Confidencial published an article about Rubiales's legal movements, alleging that he used the legal services of the RFEF with full powers, attacking anyone who was against his management. In the exercise of his profession, Lago dedicated 3 minutes to the matter in a monologue that he performed at the Alcázar theater in Madrid.
From there, the comedian describes the “giant pressures” he received as a result of what happened, even explaining that personnel from the Plaza Castilla courthouse came to the theater looking for him. Lago would end up receiving the letter confirming the complaint from Rubiales, in a trial that will be held on July 3. The amount is the same as that requested from Miguel Ángel Galán, president of CENAFE.
The former president of the federation returned to Spain this Wednesday, despite the fact that he was officially expected from Saturday. His flight and landing have been widely covered by La Sexta, after Ana Pastor traveled to the Dominican Republic to interview him in El Objective. The return trip has been complicated, suffering turbulence and with several people ending up unconscious.
“Everything has been quite surreal. On the flight there were four faintings due to turbulence, it all seemed like a movie. When we arrived, all the people had abandoned the ship, the crew and Rubiales stayed behind. Afterwards he got out and a Civil Guard van was waiting for him. He has gone with them and has been in the Barajas Civil Guard headquarters but without being detained. Then he left and now we will see what the judge does,” he explained.
