A superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo is followed at every turn by fans and paparazzi. He therefore employs security guards for his own protection and that of his family. The 36-year-old will soon have to do without two of them.

The twins Sergio and Jorge R. are currently practicing their professional activities without a police permit. The former elite soldiers have been given unpaid leave by the police and have apparently opened up a new source of income in the security industry as a result.
According to media reports, the brothers await disciplinary proceedings once they return to the Portuguese Public Security Police. A spokesman for the authority was still covered to the Mirror with regard to the expected punishment. “We do not comment on cases where the investigation is still ongoing.”

The qualification of the bodyguards is not up for debate. Sergio and Jorge served for their country in Afghanistan and were described as “mentally and physically strong” by a former lieutenant colonel. After completing their military service, they were part of a police unit that looked after the protection of politicians and judges.

Ronaldo has been increasingly concerned with the topic of security since the 2018 World Cup at the latest. At that time, the terrorist organization Islamic State threatened him and Lionel Messi with assassinations on their lives. After these threats, CR7 tightened its precautions in order to better protect itself and his family.
