The former Spanish football boss Luis Rubiales claims that he asked Jennifer Hermoso if he could kiss the star during the celebration of Spain's World Championship gold.

Something that prosecutor Marta Durantez Gil does not buy at all. According to her, there is "no doubt" that the disputed kiss was without consent.

It's a kiss without consent. I believe that after the conducted investigation (during the trial), there is no doubt or at least no reasonable doubt, says Durantez Gil.

Luis Rubiales risks up to two and a half years in prison for sexual assault and illegal coercion for the scandalous kiss in connection with Spain's World Championship gold celebration in 2023. On Tuesday, he testified himself in the trial that started on February 3.
