Elma Aveiro, the elder sister of Cristiano Ronaldo, has been subjected to extortion threats involving private and sensitive messages and images. Cristiano Ronaldo emerged as a standout player in the match between Abha and Al Nassr during the 26th round of the Saudi Arabia Professional League 2023/24, with a resounding 8-0 victory in favor of Al Nassr. Particularly notable was Ronaldo’s significant contribution, scoring a hat-trick with goals in the 11th, 21st, and 42nd minutes. This marked the second consecutive match in which Ronaldo achieved a hat-trick, bringing his career total to 65. However, Ronaldo’s joy was short-lived as Elma Aveiro, the sister of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, fell victim to a blatant extortion attempt.
According to Jose Paulo Pinho, Elma Aveiro’s lawyer, she was hired by a company to carry out some advertising and events in December of the previous year. During a meeting with representatives of that company, Ronaldo’s sister accidentally dropped her mobile phone, rendering it inoperable. Subsequently, Elma handed the phone to an individual at a repair shop for repairs. Seizing this opportunity, an employee at the repair shop illicitly copied sensitive and private messages, images, and videos belonging to Elma. This individual then attempted to extort Elma, but she refused to yield. Enraged by his failure to achieve his objective, the rogue employee shared Elma’s sensitive messages and images on social media.
These included messages from Elma to a friend, in which she used vulgar language when referring to Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo’s current girlfriend. Additionally, another video depicted Elma attempting to prove her innocence in a tax scandal. Shockingly, the messages also referenced Elma Aveiro’s alleged deception of her ex-husband, Jose Pereira, in favor of Jose Semedo, a close associate of Ronaldo. It is worth noting that Elma and Jose Pereira had previously had two sons together: Rodrigo and Dinis Maria. Messages such as “We were meant to be together,” “I love you so much,” and “I go crazy when I’m with you” were sent by Elma to Semedo. Even more shocking was the extortionist’s sharing of intimate images between Elma and her lover. “This is clearly a violation of communication privacy, telecommunications laws, invasion of privacy, and extortion. Elma has suffered serious emotional and reputational damage as a result of the dissemination of private and sensitive messages and images on social media. What we desire more than anything is for the authorities to promptly apprehend the perpetrator and prevent the dissemination of this content on social media,” affirmed Ronaldo’s sister’s lawyer. Outraged by the incident, individuals close to Cristiano Ronaldo have declared their intention to file a formal complaint and will not forgive the extortionist.
