“We strongly deny the issuance of any court ruling against any international athlete in Iran.” With this blunt message, the Iranian Embassy in Spain has denied the information that this Friday pointed to a sentence for the Portuguese footballer, who hugged a single woman, a behavior that is punishable with 99 lashes in the Arab country.
The embassy statement completes: “It should be noted that Cristiano Ronaldo He traveled to Iran on September 18 and 19 to play in an official soccer match and was very well received by the people and the authorities. “His sincere and human meeting with Fatemeh Hamami was also praised and admired by both the people and the country’s sports authorities.”. And he concluded: “It is a cause for concern that the publication of such unfounded news could overshadow crimes against humanity and war crimes against the oppressed Palestinian nation.”

Indeed, on the 18th, Cristiano met Fatemeh Hamami, a disabled artist who had painted two paintings of the Portuguese footballer with her feet. He thanked her with a heartfelt hug and a kiss on the head, in addition to giving her his shirt. This Friday, they claimed that several Iranian lawyers had requested a punishment of 99 lashes for these acts. The embassy does not mention whether the complaint is true, but it does deny, in any case, that the alleged complaint was admitted and said punishment was sentenced for Georgina Rodríguez’s boyfriend.
