Ronaldo’s mum had €55k in bag

Dolores Aveiro, the mother of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, the highest-paid footballer in the world, was stopped trying to leave a Spanish airport with €55,000 in her handbag.

Aveiro, aged 61, was stopped by Spain’s civil guard from returning home to Portugal with the huge sum of cash.

The incident happened late in April, when her hand luggage was inspected at Madrid airport.
