Introduction
Perhaps Cristiano Ronaldo should stay away from Iran for a bit.
According to Iranian media, the Al-Nassr celebrity is the target of multiple lawsuits after he gave artist Fatima Hamimi a hug and a kiss on the cheek in gratitude for giving her two paintings.Ronaldo might be facing 99 lashes as a penalty f
or having touched a woman while in a relationship, which is considered adultery.
Al-Nassr posted a video of their encounter on his official Instagram account.
The Portuguese striker, 38, has been dating Georgina Rodriguez since 2016. The couple has two daughters together, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda, as well as twins who were born in 2017 through surrogacy.
In 2010, he gave birth to a boy whose mother is not known.
When Al-Nassr flew to Tehran to play Persepolis in an Asian Champions League group stage match, Ronaldo and Hamimi shared a moment together.Among the many supporters who showered Ronaldo with gifts was Hamimi, who paints with her feet and is supposedly 85 percent crippled.
If “the acts are not punishable or Ronaldo shows remorse,” a judge may pardon the player, who inked a 2 1/2 year contract worth an estimated million annually, according to Marca.
Al-Nassr does not play in Iran again during the competition’s group round, but if both teams advance to the knockout stage, they might play there once more.
Ronaldo would not be experiencing legal issues for the first time.
When he was accused of tax evasion in 2017, he was given a two-year suspended prison sentence and a €18.8 million fine, which was later lowered to €16.8 million.
This month, the attorney representing a woman who said the soccer player sexually assaulted her in 2009 in Las Vegas requested that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reverse the decision to dismiss the case in June 2022 and revive the 2018 civil lawsuit.
