“The police issued an arrest warrant for Ronaldo in 2019,” Majorga’s attorney said

Police said they had enough evidence to arrest Cristiano Ronaldo in 2019, but prosecutors didn’t give a “green light,” according to lawyer for Kathryn Magiorga, who has accused the Portuguese of rape.

A document surfaced by the Sun shows Las Vegas police are ready to arrest Cristiano Ronaldo, but he was never given the “green light” by the prosecutor.

The English newspaper published excerpts from the court papers in which Leslie Mark Stowall, her lawyer, speaks. Kathryn Majorgawho claims to have been raped by the Portuguese on June 12, 2009 at the Palms Hotel and Casino.

“What happened is that when the warrant was sent to prosecutors, Mr Wolfson refused to prosecute. He doesn’t say why he decided to refuse and it’s all just gossip.” The American lawyer argued among other things and added “Police believed he was criminally prosecuted for sexual assault, but prosecutors disagreed.”

The transcript is from the Las Vegas trial on September 21, but it wasn’t released until Tuesday. Steve Wolfson is the Las Vegas chief prosecutor who ruled in July 2019 that Majorga’s allegations against Ronaldo could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt and he has therefore not pursued a criminal prosecution.

It was the second time police investigated the case, with the first in 2009 leading to an out-of-court settlement between the two sides in which the Portuguese paid Majorga €330,000 to prevent the matter. Ronaldo denies the rape allegations and claims to have had consensual sex with Majorga.

The 36-year-old American named the Portuguese in an interview with Der Spiegel in 2018 and denied him the right to anonymity. The German magazine learned about the case through Football Leaks.

The documents from this leak are the subject of a parallel legal battle as Ronaldo seeks to block the Las Vegas police from leaking documents to a newspaper that has asked for access to them. The 37-year-old Manchester United striker’s lawyers allege that much of the information about the police investigation and court case was illegally obtained through the Football Leaks website and violates the privacy between a lawyer and a client.

Majorga’s side agrees that the information obtained through the Football Leaks leak should not be made public until the court decides whether Ronaldo’s rights are being violated. However, they added that the remaining 400 pages of information about the case should be sent to the New York Times, which has made a request.

After two adjournments due to Covid-19, Judge Jennifer Dorsey heard arguments from both sides last week and is expected to make a decision at a later hearing.

If the “green light” is given to use the Football Leaks data, Magiorga will have another weapon up its sleeve after an American judge last November suggested dismissing their attempt to sue Ronaldo for €65,000,000, because her case was largely based on the documents in question.
