After Ronaldo’s alleged crotch grab, a Saudi lawyer, Prof Nouf bin Ahmed, who is also associated with the United Nations, announced on Twitter that she would be submitting a petition to the Public Ministry of Saudi Arabia, urging Ronaldo’s deportation.
In a social media post, she stated that Cristiano’s behavior was a crime, which amounted to indecent public conduct.
As per the law, a foreigner committing such a crime can be arrested and deported. She further added that even if the crowd provoked Ronaldo, his reaction was unacceptable.

The incident received widespread attention on social media, and it was a topic of discussion for hours on the leading sports program in Saudi Arabia, Action ya Dawri.
