Prosecutors at Spain's top criminal court said on August 28 they had opened a preliminary investigation into Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales' forcible kiss on the lips of World Cup player Jenni Hermoso on grounds it could constitute a crime of "sexual assault".
"Prosecutors from the National Court have opened a preliminary investigation to look into the facts, which could constitute an offence of sexual assault," a court statement said.
They would also contact Hermoso to offer her a chance to file a suit within 15 days, the statement said.
