Al Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo might has gotten himself into an issue in Iran. The Portuguese might be flogged 99 times the next time he visits Iran for adultery.
A large amount of lawyers in Iran filed a complaint against the 5 time Ballon d’OR winner as a result of the photos he took with a paralysed Iranian artist who painted pictures of him back in September.
Ronaldo was in Iran for the Asian Champions League as Al Nassr were hosted by Persepolis. While in Iran, Ronaldo took out time to visit Fatima Hamimi, a painter who painted pictures of him specially.
Ronaldo was reportedly to have given the Fatima a kiss on his cheek, gift her a signed shirt and also posed for a picture holding her.
Lawyers in Iran are now filing a lawsuit against the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player as holding a married woman is seen as adultery in the Iranian law.
Ronaldo won’t be returning to Iran anytime soon as Al Nassr doesn’t have anymore group stage matches to be played in Iran. Unless they are drawn to an Iranian team in the knockout stages.
