A number of lawyers in Iran have apparently filed complaints against Cristiano Ronaldo due to a photo taken during his trip to Tehran in September. The Portuguese football star was in the Iranian capital with Al-Nassr for the Asian Champions League, when he was caught hugging and kissing the Iranian special-needs artist Fatima Hamimi. It was a friendly exchange in which Ronaldo was merely thanking her after she gifted him a specially crafted painting in a public area.
Now, the seemingly harmless hug, along with the contentious photograph and video of it, which managed to circulate widely on social media, has triggered a legal storm in Iran. The scandal could see him receive “99 lashes for adultery” the next time he sets foot in Iran, per IOL. Sharq Emroz, an Iranian news network, reported that the justice system swiftly responded, sentencing Ronaldo to ‘99 lashes' the next time he sets foot in Iran.
