A FOOTBALLER dubbed North Korea's Cristiano Ronaldo has been forced back home after he was accused of breaching UN sanctions.
Former Juventus striker Han Kwang-song, 22, who most recently played for Qatari side Al-Duhail, may have been sending much of his £80,000-a-month wages back to Kim Jong-un's ruthless regime, experts believe.
