The Brazilian media has accused Ronaldo, the double world champion and ambassador of the 2014 World Cup, of being involved in a conflict of interest regarding the organization of the competition. Reports suggest that one of the subsidiary companies of his marketing agency, WPP, may have overcharged significantly for communication activities related to the World Cup. This alleged misconduct has led to public funds being funneled into the coffers of this company, in which Ronaldo holds a shareholder position.
It’s important to note that Ronaldo is a member of the committee responsible for organizing the World Cup (COL). These accusations have the potential to damage his reputation among Brazilians, who hold him in high esteem for his contributions to football.
