Rubiales argued that Hermoso lifted him from the ground and hugged him on the podium and, saying she was still sad about the second-half penalty saved by England goalkeeper Mary Earps during the match. Rubiales said he has been the victim of a "social murder" which is "far from the truth" and called the backlash "fake feminism" and said he is willing "to be vilified" to defend his ideals.
The proceeding will look at potential violations of articles 13.1 and 13.2, which refer to offenses and violations of basic integrity and dignity in conduct that could harm the reputation of football and FIFA.
