Also under investigation for allegedly pressuring Hermoso to drop the case are former women's national team coach Jorge Vilda, the director of the men's national team Albert Luque, and the Royal Spanish Football Federation's marketing director .

A number of witnesses haven given evidence in court, including two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas, among other teammates of Hermoso. Rubiales' conduct, caught on camera, provoked a wave of international outrage and led to his suspension by world football governing body FIFA.

Rubiales had ultimately resigned on September 10 after initially refusing to.

After being left out of Spain coach Montse Tome's first squad list, Hermoso later returned for the Nations League matches in October and has been called up for further games in December.
