MADRID, 28 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, was denounced this Thursday by Stephen Kenneth Newman, head of the International DUX of Madrid, a team of the First RFEF, considering that he appropriated a “housing aid” that did not correspond to him as the capital of Spain was registered.
In the complaint, to which Europa Press has had access, the president of the DUX asks the CSD to suspend Rubiales from office -in a “precautionary and provisional” manner- until the process is resolved, in addition to the initiation of a disciplinary procedure for infringement of article 76.2.d) of the Sports Law.
Stephen Kenneth Newman denounces that Rubiales has allegedly received help for housing – which is justified according to an agreement of the General Assembly of the RFEF of 1989 – as long as the president of the Federation has his “habitual address outside the Community of Madrid”.
The president of DUX Internacional considers that this housing aid should not have been received by Rubiales as he was living in Madrid, due to “the information published by the media, where he has his first residence. For this reason, he asks the CSD to initiate a procedure against his federative counterpart for having infringed the Sports Law.
For Stephen Kenneth Newman, Rubiales would have committed “damage to the assets of the Public Administrations typified in article 76.2.d) of the Sports Law, which he considers a very serious offense when there is ‘the incorrect use of private funds or of subsidies, credits, guarantees, and other aid from the State, from its autonomous Bodies or otherwise granted with charge to the General State Budgets”.
In addition, the president of the DUX states that “it corresponds to the Administrative Court of Sport, in accordance with article 84 of the
Sports Law process and resolve disciplinary proceedings at the request of the Higher Sports Council and its Board of Directors, in the specific cases referred to in article 76 of
the Sports Law”.
