The past few days have indeed been tumultuous for Cristiano Ronaldo. Off the pitch, he has had to contend with the re-emergence of past rape allegations against him. Additionally, the reports of an alleged crime of adultery, which is punishable by 99 lashes according to Iranian law, have added to the turmoil surrounding him.
However, despite the rumors and off-field controversies, Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance on the football field remains undeterred. The legendary footballer has maintained his exceptional form in the Saudi Pro League, with an impressive record of 11 goals and 6 assists in just 8 matches
Debunking Cristiano Ronaldo sentencing rumour
Rumours began to circulate swiftly following reports from various Iranian media outlets. These reports suggested that a group of lawyers in Iran had filed a complaint against Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward had visited Iran in September, and during this visit, he embraced and kissed an Iranian painter, Fatima Hamimi.
Recent reports have indicated that this particular act has been regarded as equivalent to adultery under the strict Iranian legal system. Therefore, the Iranian justice system has allegedly handed down a sentence of 99 lashes to none other than the legendary footballer, Ronaldo, if he were to return to Iran. Please be advised that the following information is sourced from reports and should be thoroughly verified for accuracy and validity.
This unfounded allegation is not the only turbulence Cristiano Ronaldo has faced in recent times. Kathryn Mayorga, the woman who initially accused the player of rape in 2009, re-instigated the matter in court. However, this has not affected the performance of the 38-year-old on the pitch, as he keeps soaring high.
Patrice Evra reacts to Ronaldo’s sentencing
Patrice Evra has reacted humorously to the news of Cristiano Ronaldo potentially facing 99 lashes for committing the crime of adultery in Iran.
During his visit to Iran, the 38-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was presented with paintings of himself by Iranian artist Fatima Hamimi. Ronaldo reportedly showed his appreciation by embracing her and kissing her on the cheek as a gesture of thanks for her kind gesture. This act was well-intentioned, although it led to the legal concerns and controversies mentioned earlier.
In Iranian law, touching a woman married to another man is illegal, hence considered a crime punishable with 99 lashes of the cane, but Patrice Evra has only hilariously downplayed the situation by commenting, “Siuuuuuuuuu.”
