Cristiano Ronaldo’s Brother Faces Trial After Selling Fake ‘CR7’ Jerseys

• Cristiano Ronaldo’s brother is set to face trial in a Jersey fraud case
• The businessman reportedly sold Ronaldo branded jerseys without the necessary license and permission
• The investigation began in 2019 when Ronaldo was playing for Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo’s brother Hugo dos Santos Aveiro is embroiled in a fake jersey scandal.

Hugo, who is Ronaldo's elder brother, is facing legal consequences for selling T-shirts bearing Ronaldo’s image and signature without the necessary permissions and licenses.

According to Sportskeeda, Hugo will face trial on June 20 in the scandal that dates back to Ronaldo’s days at Juventus in 2019.

Ronaldo joined the Old Lady in 2018 after sealing a 100 million Euros deal from Real Madrid.

Hugo owns Mussara, a company that signed a $538 million deal with Italian company Pegasus to distribute Ronaldo’s merchandise.

As reported by Daily Post, it all started when the CR7 Museum logo replaced the Adidas logo on Ronaldo’s jersey.

Hugo is also the manager of the CR7 Museum and the jerseys which had the logo were termed as fake.

Juventus is reported to have seize 13,000 of these ‘fake’ jerseys. Ronaldo’s brother’s company, Mussara, denied any deal with Pegasus.

The Italian company argued that it was Hugo himself who authorized using the CR7 museum logo instead of Adidas.

Pegasus also claimed that these same ‘fake’ Cristiano Ronaldo jerseys were also sold at the museum in Madeira, Portugal.

Pegasus are now suing Hugo, and the court date, as mentioned earlier, has finally been set for June 20 this year.
