Dec 23 2022

A 36-year-old businessman, from Qormi, will spend the festive season in jail after being charged with sexually harassing his ex-partner by allegedly forcing her to use sex toys against her will. The alleged incident happened last Tuesday, in Birkirkara, as the accused is trying to make amends after the end of an 18 month relationship.

The accused, pleaded not guilty to all accusations and according to him, he sent a photo of handcuffs and a whip to his ex-partner’s mobile phone before going to her apartment. He told police that they had already used these sex toys. On the other hand the woman insisted she refused to take part in the act.

Magistrate Marseann Farrugia denied the request for bail, and the accused will spend time in prison whilst the case against him continues in court.

Ronaldo ready to sign a 7 year contract with Al-Nassr and Saudi Arabia

Dec 22 2022

Fresh reports from Spain claim that Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of signing a huge £175 million-per-year deal with Al-Nassr and Saudi Arabia.

The agreement is set to be valid for 7 years, with the football star set to play for two and a half years before taking up an ambassadorial role, with his payment increasing over time.

The Portuguese superstar has been searching for a new team after leaving Manchester United following an interview with Piers Morgan before the World Cup in Qatar.

Part of his ambassadorial role will be used to assist the candidacy of the Arab country together with Egypt and Greece for their 2030 World Cup bid.

Meanwhile, Al-Nassr are reportedly ready to cut three players to make financial space to sign in the veteran. This is not the first time the player was linked with the Saudi Arabian club before the World Cup, but he had refused to comment due to his focus on the tournament.

Ronaldo and his family are said to be waiting in Dubai until the deal, which even includes advertising agreements. Without any interest from Europe’s elite clubs, Ronaldo looks ready to move and take this offer.
