Ronaldo at risk of deportation due to complaints over gesture with genitals
Former Real Madrid and
Manchester United icon
Cristiano Ronaldo has not had
things all his own way since
arriving in Saudi Arabia, and
now is facing an attempt to
deport him from the country.
The Portuguese forward was
involved in a 2-0 defeat for Al-
Nassr against title rivals Al-Hilal
this week. As he came off, he
responded to taunting from
opposition fans, chanting
‘Messi’, by grabbing his
genitalia.
This has not gone down well in
Saudi Arabia, with some fans
asking for him to be deported
from the country for doing so.
Lawyer Nouf Bint Ahmed claims
they have submitted a lawsuit
over the matter, which would
expose Ronaldo to deportation
were he to be found guilty of
public indecency.
Al-Nassr say that Ronaldo
suffered a blow to his groin
during the match and that was
the reason for his reaction, as
per Relevo.
It seems highly unlikely Ronaldo
would face consequences for
this action, despite the lawsuit.
Ronaldo currently lives with his
partner Georgina Rodriguez out
of wedlock, which is also illegal
in Saudi Arabia. He is yet to
face any repercussions, with
Saudi authorities turning a
blind eye.
