Cristiano Ronaldo will miss two upcoming matches for the Portuguese national team. A week ago he was accused of rape

The football player Cristiano Ronaldo was taken from the Portuguese national team for two upcoming matches. It is reported by Associated Press.

On October 11, the Portuguese team should play its second match in the UEFA Nations League in Poland. Three days later, a friendly match with Scotland in Glasgow will come down. The football player also missed the first two matches after the World Cup. Coach Fernanda Santush explained this by the fact that Ronaldo had just moved to Juventus and settled there.

On October 2, it became known that the Las Vegas police resumed an investigation into rape charges against Ronaldo.

At the end of September, 34-year-old American Katherine Majorg told the German publication Der Spiegel that Ronaldo raped her on June 13, 2009 in one of the Las Vegas hotels. After that, she was depressed and thought about suicide.

Ronaldo paid $ 375 thousand to his alleged victim under the pre -trial agreement. She was supposed to be silent about what had happened, but in 2017, Der Spiegel became aware of the agreement. Majorga hired another lawyer who stated that the agreement was not valid. After that, she decided to tell about everything herself.

Representatives of Cristiano Ronaldo threatened Der Spiegel, and the football player himself called the publication “fake news”.
