German news magazine, Der Spiegel have claimed in a new report that
Ronaldo's lawyer agreed to a settlement in 2010 after an alleged rape
incident in Las Vegas, soon after Ronaldo agreed to move from Manchester
United to Real Madrid.
According to the newspaper report which emerged on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo paid $375,000 compensation to a woman who claims he raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.
The
magazine also revealed that settling document was detailed in six-page
and was read aloud to the claimant by Ronaldo’s longtime attorney Carlos
Osório de Castro at a mediation session in Nevada on January 12th,
2010.
It was also stated that the Portugal
captain was addressed as 'Mr D' and the unnamed woman, who agreed to
drop all charges, as 'Ms C'.
The Irish Times
reports that De Castro signed the document on behalf of his client but
declined to comment on the claims when contacted by Der Spiegel, he said
he 'never commented on clients’ affairs” and said no inference should
be made by his silence.
