Rubiales, 46, refused to quit despite pressure from Spanish footballers and the government.

And yesterday, his organisation even threatened to sue Jenni Hermoso the player he kissed accusing her of lying.

Rubiales grabbed the 33-year-old by the head and kissed her on the lips during the medal ceremony after Spain - beat England 1-0 in the final last Sunday.

He hugged and kissed several other players too, including Olga Carmona, who scored the winning goal.

Rubiales was earlier seen grabbing his crotch and gyrating in the stands just yards from Spain's Queen Letizia and her daughter, 16.
