The Italian Public Prosecutor’s Office has formally accused Hugo dos Santos Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s elder brother, of a jersey fraud. The case revolves around the selling of counterfeit Juventus jerseys that featured the image and autograph of the football superstar. Hugo allegedly did not obtain the necessary permission and licenses for these jerseys.
Legal Proceedings and Investigation
Hugo dos Santos Aveiro is now set to face legal proceedings for his alleged involvement in this jersey fraud. According to a report by ‘Corriere dello Sport,’ the investigation into this matter began in 2019 to determine if there was fraud against the company ‘Pegasso.’ It is worth noting that Ronaldo had signed a deal with ‘Pegasso’ for the online sale of sports clothing for the Serie A club Juventus.
Ronaldo’s Professional Journey

After leaving Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United for a second stint, which started with a remarkable performance. However, his form declined in the second season, and he was not the preferred starting choice under Erik Ten Hag. Ronaldo’s contract with Manchester United was eventually terminated after an explosive interview with journalist Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo’s Future and Al-Nassr
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr on a 2.5-year contract, reportedly making him the world’s highest-paid football player.
It remains to be seen how the legal proceedings against Hugo dos Santos Aveiro will unfold and what consequences this case will have for the Ronaldo family.
