The Royal Spanish Football Federation have confirmed that the former Director of Communication Pablo García-Cuervo has been removed from his position.
Garcia-Cuervo is the latest senior member of the organisation to depart amid the ongoing investigation into Luis Rubiales’ kiss on Spain international Jenni Hermoso.
The decision to remove Garcia-Cuervo from his position was confirmed hours after the National Court had summoned him as a witness in the ongoing court case.
Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win on August 20. Hermoso said the kiss was not consensual but Rubiales insists it was.
After three weeks of criticism and calls for his resignation, Rubiales confirmed that he would no longer continue in his position earlier this month.
Rubiales and the RFEF has come under fierce criticism around the world for their handling of the issue.
