Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is attempting to block the release of case files tied to allegations he sexually assaulted a woman in 2009, according to The Athletic's Daniel Kaplan.
Per Kaplan, the New York Times requested access to files from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's investigation into the matter.
Ronaldo is arguing the files should remain confidential because they include documents that were unearthed during the wider Football Leaks information dump:
"[G]ood cause exists to prohibit the disclosure of LVMPD's investigative file because it contains stolen documents and communications labeled attorney-client privilege and work product, which Plaintiff improperly obtained from an alleged cyber hacker from whom her counsel specifically sought privileged attorney-client communications and work product.
