Tax ‘insects’ starting to bug Ronaldo
FOOTBALLER Cristiano Ronaldo posted a bizarre picture of himself a day after appearing in court to face tax fraud allegations.
The Real Madrid star put a photo on Instagram of himself standing in a God-like pose in the centre of a dazzling light display.
He captioned it: “What bothers people is my glow. Insects only attack lights that shine.”
Ronaldo, 31, reportedly told a judge at Monday’s closed court hearing in Madrid: “If I wasn’t called Cristiano Ronaldo, I wouldn’t be sat here.”
Judge Monica Gomez Ferrer replied: “You are mistaken. Plenty of anonymous people have sat where you are.”
Ronaldo has denied dodging £13.1million in tax between 2011 and 2014.
