Luis Rubiales has been forced to sell his luxury Madrid apartment to cover legal costs following his non-consensual kiss on Jenni Hermoso, and an increase in alimony to his ex-wife and children.
Rubiales bought the completely renovated property for £1.1million, but could make a profit of £100k by selling it £1.2million, according to Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
Spread over two floors, the stunning property has two bedrooms with separate bathrooms, a private pool with access to shared gardens, a community pool, gastrobar, home cinema room and gym.
The ground floor boasts a large living and dining room, two en-suite bedrooms, three bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, an office, storage room and double garage.
Finishing touches include a home automation system, underfloor heating and motorised blinds. The former FA chief already has to pay double alimony for his daughters after his ex-wife won a lawsuit against him, according to El Mundo.
Rubiales separated from his wife in 2013, and now has to pay 800 euros per month for each of his three daughters – another financial blow.
Hermoso filed an official criminal case against Rubiales earlier this month, as the disgraced FA chief continues to insist he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
Now in a bid to secure funding for his legal fight, the ex-football boss has put his stunning duplex apartment in the exclusive neighbourhood of Rosales, in Madrid, up for sale.
Rubiales bought the completely renovated luxury property for £1.1m, but could make a small profit, as per La Vanguardia. The flat boasts two floors with two bedrooms and a private pool with access to shared gardens, a cinema, a gym and a community pool.
It was revealed earlier this month that Hermoso had filed a legal complaint against him over the kiss following Spain’s 1-0 win over England. Prosecutors gave Hermoso 15 days to formally accuse Rubiales of sexual assault and she has since lodged the complaint in person at the Spanish State Prosecution Service HQ in Madrid.
At the time the Talk TV interview with Morgan went public, Rubiales tweeted: “Good night. Today I transmitted at 9:30 p.m. to the acting President, Mr. Pedro Rocha, my resignation from the position of President of the RFEF.
