Cristiano Ronaldo’s brother being investigated for fraud-HUGO AVEIRO
A brother to Cristiano Ronaldo, Hugo Aveiro is currently being invested for fraud after selling shirts that were meant to be destroyed.
Italy reported that Hugo Dinarte Aveiro is under investigation by an Italian prosecutor as he has been accused of selling some special shirts produced by a small Turin company called Pegaso that manufactures and distributes sports gadgets and clothing.
According to a report, Football Icon Ronaldo owns a company Mussara, which is managed by his brother Hugo Aveiro, and they ordered a number of shirts from Pegaso.
Pegaso was asked to produce the Jerseys for Musaara, only to Mussara to pull the plug on manufacturing asking the company to send all already produced shirts so they could be disposed of.
According to Pegaso’s claim, the shirts weren’t destroyed by Mussara, instead, they were put on sale at the Cristiano Ronaldo Museum.
Hugo is now facing investigation as pesago has launched legal action against Mussara.
This is not the first time Ronaldo’s family has faced legal issues. And here is another one regarding his brother being investigated for fraud.
Ronaldo himself was handed a suspended jail sentence for tax fraud during his time at Real Madrid.
According to the Spanish prosecution, Ronaldo deprived the Spanish government out of 5,717,174 euros (£5.3 million) during a space of four years.
Ronaldo pled guilty and agreed on a deal with the courts to avoid a long trial and potentially a heftier punishment.
Ronaldo and his older brother have become incredibly close in recent years after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner paid for Hugo’s rehab as he suffered from substance abuse issues similar to what Ronaldo’s father Dinis suffered from before his death.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s father died in 2005 while Ronaldo was at Manchester United and at the time, Hugo played ‘street football’.
