Spain's Jenni Hermoso takes action after testimony leaked in Spanish media
The forward's testimony in the Rubiales Case was leaked earlier this week
Jennifer Hermoso has decided to take action against the leaks that have occurred this week of the statement she made to a court in the 'Rubiales case'. The Spanish national team player made the announcement in a statement released by her representation and communication agency (AGM Sport & TMJ).
The player feels unprotected after the video of her statement to the prosecutor Marta Durántez appeared in Spanish media and does not feel safe to testify in Spain. In addition, her legal representatives will take legal action against those responsible for the leaks to protect and guarantee Hermoso's privacy.
The TMJ statement:
"All criminal proceedings must be carried out with guarantees to preserve the right to privacy of the victims. Until a few days ago we thought that this process offered Jenni a safe environment, but the continuous leaks and the lack of these guarantees prevent our player from being able to carry out the process normally.
"At all times, we have attended to and collaborated, as far as possible, with all media. Despite this, limits have been exceeded. Jenni's basic rights have been violated and she has once again been exposed to public opinion without any kind of consent and in violation of her data protection rights.

| MEDIASET"These events not only put her health at risk, but also the reliability and independence of the judicial process in which we have always trusted so much. For all these reasons, and with the aim of redirecting the process, Jenni, her legal team and TMK have decided to take various actions to protect and guarantee her privacy. Among them, we have urged the competent bodies to take measures against those responsible for the leaks and to seek solutions to guarantee the security and custody of the information in the case during the criminal proceedings.
"From the team working with the player, we want to remain firm with our management of the process so far, collaborating with the court, the judge, the prosecutor's office, the security forces and the media to promote the development of the case."
