Ronaldo’s mother arrested with €45,000 at airport

Firstclass newsline learnt that Dolores Aveiro, the mother of Real
Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, was stopped at Madrid's Barajas Airport
last month and caught carrying an illegally large amount of cash as
she prepared to fly out of the country, the newspaperEl Mundoreported.
According toThe Telegraph, 60-year-old Aveiro, who spends long periods
of time with her multimillionaire footballer son in his luxury mansion
outside Madrid, was held by border police at Barajas after it was
found that she had €55,000 (£40,000) in her hand luggage. Rules
against money laundering state that the maximum travellers are
permitted to take out of Spain without declaring the transfer is
€10,000.
Aveiro had not filled out a declaration form and, according to the
Spanish daily, was held by civil guard agents at the airport for a few
minutes while the excess amount of cash was confiscated. She was then
allowed to fly to Portugal with €10,000 in her handbag.
Aveiro will now be fined at least €600 for the attempt to illegally
export cash. By paying the fine, she will be able to collect the
confiscated €45,000.
The celebrity pages in Spanish newspapers have in the past week been
showing photographs of Ronaldo relaxing on board a yacht owned by
British retail tycoon Sir Philip Green. Having recently separated from
the Russian model Irina Shayk, Ronaldo has chosen to start his summer
holidays in the company of friends such as Miguel Paixao, an old
comrade from Sporting Lisbon's junior ranks.
According to Portuguese newspaper Correio de Manhã, Ronaldo and
Shayk's relationship was damaged beyond repair last Christmas when
they rowed over the player's mother.
The couple were holidaying in Dubai, but the footballer wanted to
travel to his home island of Madeira to surprise Aveiro on her 60th
birthday on 31 December.
