Cristiano Ronaldo’nun Iran in Iran after the photo taken after the “whip penalty” allegations of Iran came from Iran. During his visit to Iran in September 2023, Al-Nassr footballer Cristiano Ronaldo would be sentenced to 99 whip for hugging Fateh Hamami, a disabled Iranian artist. This news found a wide place in the international press.
The Iranian Judicial Information Center made an official statement on the issue and announced that these claims did not reflect the truth. “There is no trial about Cristiano Ronaldo. The allegations are completely unfounded,” the statement said.
In the incident, Ronaldo is known to hug the Iranian painter Hamami as a gesture and gave him a signed form. However, this movement was claimed to be contrary to the Iranian laws, and Ronaldo’s allegations of 99 whip were sentenced to the next Iran visit. The Iranian administration denied these rumors and said that the incident was not realized in the press.
