Luis Rubiales has become the undisputed protagonist of Wednesday’s day. The former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation gave a surprise this Wednesday by announcing his return to Spain. A flight that was originally scheduled to take place on April 6. However, the former sports leader has preferred to leave the Dominican Republic early to face his legal problems.
Let us remember that Luis Rubiales is being investigated for an alleged crime of corruption in several contracts made during his time as president of the RFEF. A complicated legal situation that caused the Civil Guard to be waiting for Rubiales on the landing strip to arrest him.
However, the flight, far from going completely unnoticed, has been full of anecdotes and curiosities, such as the presence of Ana Pastor. The journalist traveled to the country a few days ago to conduct an interview with Luis Rubiales, which will appear tonight on La Sexta. But what she did not expect was to return to Spain on the same plane as her interviewee.
An event that he wanted to explain in detail this Wednesday on the Sonsoles Ónega program. ”Everything has been quite surreal,” he began by saying. ”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 remained,’ he detailed.
Moments later, an agent from the Civil Guard entered the plane to explain to the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation how the events were going to happen. ”Then he got off 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 revealed.
Regarding whether her ”detention” was appropriate, Ana Pastor responded that it was not. ”In tonight’s interview she starts with the question of whether she is going to return to Spain. She says a very resounding yes, but when she closes the interview she begins to doubt. So our feeling is that she is not going to return to Spain and now we know that at the end of the interview she was going to take the same plane as us,” the journalist assured.
