“IF MADRID BEAT DORTMUND AND QUALIFY, I WILL LET MY GIRLFRIEND SLEEP WITH THEM” – BALOTELLI

Balotelli


Mario Balotelli might have condemned himself to the doghouse with girlfriend Fanny Neguesha after he reportedly made a bizarre comment about the Belgian model ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

The former Manchester City striker is apparently so confident that Dortmund will qualify for the Champions League final, he is claimed to have said that he would allow the Spanish side’s squad to sleep with his girlfriend if they managed to upset the odds and pip the Germans to Wembley.

In Spanish newspapers AS and Marca, the Italy international was quoted as saying: ‘If Real Madrid come back in Champions League, I’ll let my girlfriend sleep with them!’Dortmund ran Real off the park a week ago at the Westfalenstadion, with Robert Lewandowski, Mario Gotze and Marco Reus tearing a flimsy-looking defence apart.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich target Lewandowski netted all four goals in the 4-1 victory for Jurgen Klopp’s men. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored Real’s only goal of the night, missed the Madrid derby clash against Atletico at the weekend and remains a fitness doubt for Tuesday’s encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu.Meanwhile, Balotelli, apart from making controversial comments about his girlfriend, is lighting up the Serie A since leaving Manchester for AC Milan.

The 22-year-old has scored 10 times since leaving the Premier League, including a contentious penalty in last night’s victory over Catania.Balotelli has previously spoken about his blossoming relationship with Neguesha.In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, the striker said his girlfriend was the ‘first woman I feel comfortable with’.

67yr old grandma found dead in SA after meeting with Nigerian man she met online



Mr Omokoh, who would report to being the last person to see her alive, vanished after speaking to police.

One of Ms Jacobs' six children, who did not want to be identified, told 6PR radio in Perth on Monday her mother had been to South Africa four times, initially to meet another man.

"She wasn't naive when it came to other countries, we lived in Malaysia for many years," she said.
When the woman's brother received a phone call from a South African guest house, the siblings who had warned their mother against what they believed was a scam relationship, were in disbelief.
"I thought it was a hoax and I wouldn't believe that my mother had actually passed so I rang the consulate," the woman said.

"A couple of hours later they called me back and gave me their apologies."
A joint operation between WA Police and Consumer Protection, codenamed Project Sunbird, had sent Ms Jacobs a letter warning that she may be the victim of fraud, but it was too late.

By the time the letter arrived in Ms Jacobs' mailbox she had already left for her ill-fated trip.
When her children met with detectives in South Africa, they discovered her money, jewellery, laptop and credit cards were all missing.

And then there was an empty pill bottle found near her.

"Anybody who knew my mother would know that there is no way that she would do that," her daughter told 6PR.

"This has gone on for four years and after four years there is a very strong element of trust that has been built."

One of Ms Jacobs' sons warned others not to head overseas to meet people they've met online.  "It could be a one-way ticket," he said.

Major fraud squad detective Dom Blackshaw said WA Police were now involved in the investigation and treating the death as "suspicious".

"These relationship frauds are being perpetrated by ruthless overseas criminals who are members of organised crime syndicates," he said.

"To travel to Africa to visit someone you have met on the internet is extremely dangerous and could, as in the case of Ms Jacobs, cost your life.
