The family of Luis Rubiales, Chairman of the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF), suffered a break in at their Motril property on Thursday.

Our reporter, Sam Rucker, you might remember, ran an article on Mr Rubiales back in January, entitled Scandal Strikes Salobreña, dealing with a rented luxury villa on the Monte de Los Almendros.

The break in on Thursday around noon on Calle Ancha caused a lot of damage but nothing of any value was taken, which doesn’t sound like a standard burglary. Fortunately, nobody was occupying the dwelling at the time of the break in.

National news outlets have linked this incident to a decision handed down by a Motril law court that confirmed the sacking of Juan Rubiales, who is the brother of the ex-mayor of Motril, Luis Rubiales, thus uncle of the Luis Rubiales, subject of this article. Qué lio!

Anyway, please read the linked article to have a better idea of who is who.
