The mother of Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s highest-paid footballer, was stopped last month at Madrid airport with \u20ac55,000 (\u00a340,400; $61,000) in her handbag, El Mundo newspaper reports.<\/p>\n
It said that Dolores Aveiro, 61, was stopped by the civil guard while waiting for a flight home to Portugal.<\/p>\n
She could not explain to officials why she needed so much cash, El Mundo said.<\/p>\n
It said that the money will be held by officials until she pays a fine and fills in the correct documentation.<\/p>\n
Spanish rules drawn up to prevent money laundering stipulate that the maximum amount travellers are permitted to take out of Spain without declaring the transfer is \u20ac10,000.<\/p>\n
