MADRID, July 6 (Reuters) - Barcelona soccer star Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison after a court in Barcelona found him guilty of three counts of tax fraud, a statement from the court said on Wednesday. The court also sentenced the Argentine soccer player's father, Jorge, to 21 months in prison for the same three crimes. The sentence can be appealed through the Spanish supreme court, the statement said. However, under Spanish law a prison sentence under two years can be served under probation, meaning Messi and his father are unlikely to go to jail. The court ordered Messi to pay a fine of around 2 million euros ($2.21 million) and his father to pay 1.5 million euros for the crimes. ($1 = 0.9034 euros) (Reporting by Madrid newsroom; Writing by Angus Berwick; Editing by Sonya Dowsett) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-3676823/Barcelona-soccer-star-Messi-sentenced-21-months-prison.html http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36721892

He's very lucky. He could have got six years. Do you know what that means? All sponsorship deals cancelled. Barcelona will have no choice but to terminate his contract. This would have been a perfect example of Grace to Grass, in fact, brown grass! He's lucky! Well, this just shows that nobody is above the law. And I commend the Spanish authorities for this. It's a K-leg judgement, tho. |

If this were to be in Nigeria, you will hear so many theories such as: We are winning the war against corruption - APC Messi is being witch hunted because he's opposition - PDP Messi is our son. Leave him alone - IPOB Messi must not go to jail or else we will roast Nigeri a - NDA #bringbackourmessi - Oby Ezekwesili I have evidence that Messi is victimized - Fayose The govt has fulfilled it's promise of jailing Messi - Lai Muhammed We will not take this! - Orubebe Abeg add more if you get 1 Like |

Lily4star:He received a suspended sentence. This means that he's been put on probation. If he does not break the law during this period, and fulfils the conditions for the probation, which includes paying the fines, the judge will dismiss the sentence. So he continues playing football. |

Thank God it's not Nigeria, when Linda was exposed that she owes around 71 million naira tax, Some sections of the country said they were being targeted, Others said she should move out of the country, Another said she should move back home. The truth of the matter is tax defaulters are criminals, we as common men pay but the rich find I hard to pay, yet some myopic youths will still cry foul when they are exposed. |

Lily4star:He'll start the season. He'll continue with his usual life. But he's been told to pay a fine. If he doesn't, then he'll go to jail. Also, if he fvcks up within the two years he's been given, he will go to jail. |
