Curious news from the Middle East: According to several media reports, football star Cristiano Ronaldo is being threatened with 99 lashes. The Portuguese faced Persepolis FC with Saudi club Al-Nassr in the Asian Champions League in Iran. During this game “CR7” met the Iranian artist Fatemeh Hamami.
She presented the football star with a portrait. The artist, who sits in a wheelchair, received a jersey as a gift from Ronaldo. The meeting between the two ended with a hug and a kiss on the forehead. This can all be seen in a video posted to Instagram by Ronaldo’s club Al-Nassr. But in Iran, physical contact with women is only allowed with one’s own wife; anything else is considered adultery.

That is why Iranian lawyers have now filed a complaint. According to reports, the verdict was handed down quickly and Ronaldo is now considered an adulterer in the predominantly Muslim country. According to Iranian media, this sentence could be carried out if “CR7” returns to Iran at some point. (abu)
