The judge in the “Rubiales case” refuses to call Montse Tomé as a witness

The judge of the National Court Francisco de Jorge has rejected – as confirmed by legal sources to LA RAZÓN – that the coach Montse Tomé testify as a witness in the “Rubiales case”, as requested by the defense of Jorge Vilda, who wants Tomé to clarify whether He did not call up Jenni Hermoso, on the first list after the World Cup, at the direction of the current Moroccan women’s coach.

Vilda’s lawyer requested that testimony so that she could be questioned about the alleged pressure from the former Spanish coach so that Hermoso would not be summoned by Spain in retaliation for not having supported the version of Luis Rubiales – accused of sexual assault and coercion – about his controversial kiss to the international soccer player after the World Cup final on August 20.

It should be remembered that when Montse Tomé made public that first call after the World Cup in Australia, Vilda had already been dismissed from his position and Rubiales had resigned from his position as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). But the defense of the former coach considers that the accusations suspect that Vilda had tried to influence Tomé not to call up Jenni Hermoso, so he wants the women’s coach to clear up any doubts in this regard.

Furthermore, according to those same sources, the instructor of the “Rubiales case” has agreed to request from Antena 3 the complete interview carried out with Rafael Hermoso, brother of the international soccer player, on August 25 on the Espejo Público program, in search of possible contradictions. in his version of the pressure that Vilda would have exerted on him on the plane back to Spain so that his sister would remove the controversy over the kiss and support Rubiales’ version of events.

In his statement as a witness, Rafael Hermoso confirmed these alleged pressures – which last week a witness present in that conversation also supported – but Vilda denied the major pressure and indicated that she only spoke with him to try to “lower the soufflé.”

Jenni Hermoso, on the 28th

Next Tuesday, Judge De Jorge will hear Jenni Hermoso, whom he has summoned to testify as a victim at the National Court. Once his participation in the Mexican championship, which he played with Pachuca, his current club, has concluded, which is why he has not been able to appear before the magistrate until now, he must go to the court headquarters at 12:30, according to agreed today the magistrate.

That same day, the judge of the National Court will question the international Laia Codina, whose statement had to be suspended on November 16 due to technical problems with the summons to the Arsenal player.

Hermoso assured the Prosecutor’s Office that the kiss was not consensual and that Rubiales and his entourage in the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) pressured him, both on the plane back to Spain and during the world champions’ stay in Ibiza. so that he would take the edge off the matter and support the version of the federative president.
