Scandal involving Ronaldo's family: police investigate underground cockfighting case
A serious blow to the image of the Ronaldo family.
Details: The name of Cristiano Ronaldo's sister's boyfriend, Alexandre Bertolucci, has become the center of a high-profile investigation in Brazil. According to the Daily Mail, the entrepreneur is being investigated for possible involvement in organizing illegal cockfights.
The large-scale operation was triggered by reports of suspected breeding and training of fighting birds for underground matches. During the raid, police reportedly discovered around 1,500 Murrah roosters, considered one of the most aggressive fighting breeds.
Investigators claim the birds were kept in harsh conditions, and some suffered serious injuries. Photographs and video footage from the operation were published by the British outlet.
The businessman himself categorically denies all accusations, stating he was not involved in any illegal activity and has no connection to organizing such events.
The investigation is ongoing, and the final conclusions from law enforcement have yet to be released.
