Cristiano Ronaldo sentenced to 99 lashes in Iran
According to Iranian media news; Cristiano Ronaldo was sentenced to 99 lashes in Iran.
It seems that his meeting in September with the Iranian painter Fatima Hamami, 85 percent paralyzed and a fan of the Portuguese footballer, will have consequences for the 38-year-old Al Nassr attacker.
Ronaldo visited Tehran, the capital of Iran, with Al-Nassr in September to face Persepolis in the group stage of the Asian Champions League. The Portuguese player met Hamami while he was in Tehran, and it was reported that Hamami arranged the meeting after wanting to gift Ronaldo a painting he had made especially for him. During the meeting, Ronaldo hugged the woman to thank her. A video of the meeting circulated on social networks.

IRANIAN LAWYERS COMPLAINED
According to ‘Sharq Emroz’, numerous Iranian lawyers have complained about this hug, because according to Iranian law touching a single woman is equivalent to adultery.
The channel wrote that the Iranian justice system reacted quickly and sentenced Ronaldo to 99 lashes, and that the Portuguese star would receive this punishment on his next trip to Iran.
WILL RONALDO GO TO IRAN?
Al Nassr are in the Asian Champions League after advancing from the play-off round. Al Nassr, who are in Group E along with Iran’s Persepolis, Qatar’s Al-Duhail and Tajikistan’s Istiklol, will not have to return to Iran at this stage of the tournament.
However, if they manage to reach the round of 16 or advance in the tournament, they will need to return to Iranian territory, which could result in CR7 being arrested by the Iranian authorities and forced to serve his sentence if he is part of the Saudi team delegation. . .
