if the article was between Ronaldo and his lawyer then how the f would Spiegel have obtained access to it?
Because it was leaked or they hacked into a server.
But why on God's green Earth would Ronaldo's lawyers not only create a highly damning document, but even choose to let it linger around on their servers for years? It makes zero sense.
Would it be admissible if it were real? If it's sent via email from someone in Ronaldo's lawyer's firm to the said lawyer it must have been obtained through hacking, or a whistle blower. Wouldn't it fall under attorney client privilege either way?
I believe under US law it would fall under attorney client privilege and would not be admissible.
But Ronaldo would still be in trouble as I don't think the same goes for Belgium for example. Which begs the question what the situation is like in Portugal (where he could also be sued).
