Alexia Putellas Supports Jenni Hermoso's Statement and Assures She 'Cried'

The case of Jenni Hermoso regarding Rubiales's kiss continues to make headlines. More so in recent days, as witness statements about what happened have been emerging.

Alexia Putellas has testified as a witness and stated that on the return to Spain, she saw Jenni "very overwhelmed" and crying because "they wouldn't leave her alone." According to her, this insistence was to downplay the kiss.

In addition to this, another statement to support Jennifer Hermoso, Putellas noted that in Ibiza, she cried several times. She added that she told her: "I don't know what I'm doing here."

Putellas answered questions from the prosecutor, close to García Ortiz, who didn't see Rubiales's kiss. When Jenni Hermoso told her about it, the player herself remarked, without giving it importance, said: "Oh, shut up."

But according to the player, she remembers that "her face was a bit strange," although she didn't talk about it with her again. But on the bus, once again, she downplayed it.

Putellas thought it was a "fortuitous" kiss and that their lips had "met" when giving two kisses. Jenni then insisted that it was something "very serious," "didn't you see it?" she retorted, and showed her the video of the kiss while saying:

"I don't know what went through his mind to kiss me. He grabbed my face and kissed me, how could he think of doing that?"

Who is the prosecutor in the Rubiales case criticized on social media?

The scandal over the 'Rubiales case' has unleashed a wave of criticism on social media against the player Jennifer Hermoso, and also against a prosecutor present at the trial. The judicial process that will determine the future of the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation began yesterday, and since then, live statements have been accessible.

Several excerpts from the trial statements have gone viral on social media; however, there is an authority figure who has stood out significantly. It is one of the prosecutors who, apparently, is biased toward one of the parties, which has made her go viral on social media.

The Deputy Prosecutor of the National Court Prosecutor's Office, Marta Durántez Gil, was appointed in 2022. She took office in a ceremony presided over by the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz. It was held at the National Court.

In García Ortiz's speech, he highlighted that Marta Durántez is an exceptional and versatile jurist and a magnificent colleague. He noted that she demonstrated her deep conviction in the principles of justice focused on citizenship and public service. He indicated that she was committed to the defense of human rights and victims.

The truth is that the rapport between García Ortiz and Marta Durántez, the candidate, has been undeniable. Both come from Galicia. While García held the Area Prosecutor's Office of Santiago de Compostela, Durántez was for 18 years a prosecutor at the Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Pontevedra.

She left that position in 2020 when Dolores Delgado was promoted to the direction of the Public Ministry. This happened after García became the head of the Technical Secretariat, and he recruited her for this department.

The truth is that the Castilian-Leonese landed in Pontevedra, where she served from 2002 to 2020. First in Vilagarcía and later as Coordinating Prosecutor and Delegate Prosecutor for Occupational Accidents. And prosecutor assigned to the Gender Violence section in the Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Pontevedra.
