'Ronaldo is a free citizen' - Juventus coach Pirlo responds to police investigation over coronavirus rule break

Andrea Pirlo says Cristiano Ronaldo is responsible for his own actions in his free time, with the Juventus star under investigation by Italian police for allegedly breaking coronavirus restrictions.

Ronaldo is under the spotlight after his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, posted footage on social media of the couple riding a snowmobile at an Italian mountain resort as part of her 27th birthday celebrations.

It is reported the couple travelled from the Piedmont region to Valle d’Aosta. Both of these regions are currently designated as ‘orange zones’, with travel between these areas forbidden under current government rules.
