Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has been scammed out of about £250,000 by a travel agent. The agent was entrusted with Ronaldo’s credit card details and skimmed off the money from his accounts over a three-year period.

According to reports, the agent recorded up to 200 trips that the Manchester United player never took. Other players Nani and Manuel Fernandes were also scammed.

The 53-year-old woman was convicted in 2017 and sentenced to four years of probation. She is currently paying back restitution on a monthly basis. Some reports suggest she was even entrusted with Ronaldo’s PIN number.
