Why was Cristiano Ronaldo punished with 99 lashes? Will it really happen?

It is no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo, despite already being 38 years old, is the most viral person in the world or at least in football. Now, the Portuguese has starred in one of the most surreal news stories that are remembered, at least in the West.

It all started according to information from Iranian lands, the 'Sharq Emroz' channel mentioned that the Portuguese would have been sentenced to 99 lashes in that country, after a meeting in September with the Iranian painter Fatima Hamami, who is in poor health and is a self-confessed fan of the Al-Nassr footballer.

For some context, Cristiano Ronaldo visited the city of Tehran, the Iranian capital, last September, to face Persepolis, in what was the first date of the group stage of the Asian Champions League, during his stay in the capital Iranian, the Portuguese met the painter who would have brought about the moment. In an emotional greeting, she wanted to give him a painting that she had painted in a very special way and the Portuguese, in a gesture of her gratitude, hugged her, as recorded in the following video.

According to the cited source, there is a large group of local lawyers who have filed a complaint against the registered hug, since, according to the laws of that country, the act of touching a woman is equal to adultery. According to the media, the Iranian justice system has acted in the last few hours and Cristiano Ronaldo would receive 99 lashes once his new visit to Iranian lands is completed. We will have to be very attentive if in the round of 16 phase, or according to the continuity of the tournament, the Al-Nassr scorer must travel to this country with his club, since if so he would be detained by the authorities in order to that he serves that sentence.
