Iran\u2019s embassy in Madrid has denied reports<\/a> that football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a><\/strong> is facing 99 lashes as punishment for adultery in the country.<\/p>\n

According to multiple Iranian media outlets, Ronaldo is facing several lawsuits in Iran after the Al-Nassr ace hugged and kissed artist Fatima Hamimi on the cheek to thank her for a gift.<\/p>\n

It has been widely reported that Ronaldo is facing 99 lashes as punishment for touching an unmarried woman while in a relationship, which is considered adultery under Iranian law.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old has been with his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez<\/strong>, since 2016, and they have two children.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s embassy has released a statement opposing the claims regarding Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly deny the issuance of any court ruling against any international athlete in Iran,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a matter of concern that the publication of such unfounded news could overshadow crimes against humanity and war crimes against the oppressed Palestinian nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be noted that Cristiano Ronaldo 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 humane meeting with Fatemeh Hamami<\/strong> was also praised and admired by both the people and the country\u2019s sports authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desmentimos rotundamente la emisi\u00f3n de cualquier fallo judicial contra cualquier deportista internacional en Ir\u00e1n. Es motivo de preocupaci\u00f3n que la publicaci\u00f3n de noticias tan infundadas pueda eclipsar los cr\u00edmenes de lesa humanidad y los cr\u00edmenes de guerra contra la oprimida\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/51xw40L7Gp<\/a><\/p>\n

Ronaldo, who signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Saudi Arabian club worth a reported $75 million per year, could be forgiven by a judge if \u201cthe acts are not punishable or Ronaldo shows remorse, \u201cSpanish newspaper Marca reports.<\/p>\n

Al-Nassr will not play in Iran again during the tournament group stage, but could if both teams make it to the knockout stages.<\/p>\n
