The hearing of the tax evasion case against Cristiano Ronaldo took place in a closed mode for the press, but the media still became aware of some details.

As reported by AS, the striker of Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, accused of non-payment of taxes for almost 15 million euros, denied his guilt categorically and tried to present everything as an attempt to pooch on his name. "If I was not called Cristiano Ronaldo, I would not be here," the Portuguese replied to the judge's question about whether he acknowledged the charges against him. To which Judge Monica Gomez Ferrer replied: "You are deeply mistaken. A lot of absolutely unknown people were sitting in the same place where you are now. The law is one for all, and you are here because the prosecutor's office has provided enough evidence to talk about a financial crime. And my task is to determine whether there was a crime and, if so, who is responsible for it ".

However, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to repeat the same thing: "No, no, it all just happened because my name is Cristiano Ronaldo".

As the press attache of the agency Gestifute, representing the interests of Cristiano Ronaldo, the official statement of the footballer and his lawyers will be published on Monday evening, July 31.
