The Precious Christiano Ronaldo Accused Of Tax Fraud By Spanish Agency by Nobody: 9:46pm On May 25, 2017 |
Cristiano Ronaldo accused
of tax fraud by Spanish
agency
Spanish prosecutors are considering whether
Cristiano Ronaldo should face charges over
allegations by the country's tax agency that he
defrauded the authorities of €15 million between
2011 and 2014.
Prosecutors said they have until the end of June
to decide whether to charge the Real Madrid
star, based on evidence from an investigation by
tax officials, who believe the Portuguese may
have committed wrongdoing.
Ronaldo attempted to regularise his tax situation
in Spain in 2014 by paying an extra €5.6m, but
the tax office believes Ronaldo should have had
to pay a further €15m.
The tax office asked prosecutors to press
charges against Ronaldo for tax fraud and
requested a minimum five-year jail term.
Prosecutors said that if they decided to charge
the Portugal captain, and if he was subsequently
found guilty by a court, he would face a prison
sentence of at least 15 months -- one quarter of
the five years.
At that level of sentence, it would be unlikely
Ronaldo would go to jail as a first-time offender.
The union of employees (GESTHA) at Spain's
tax office "lamented" the delay in referring the
case to prosecutors but welcomed the move by
the tax authorities.
In December, news outlets including El Mundo
received "Football Leaks" documents that
claimed that Ronaldo, among other players and
coaches, had avoided tax on earnings from
image rights by having large sums in offshore
companies in the British Virgin Islands, a tax
haven.
Ronaldo's agents vehemently denied the claims
and said the 32-year-old is "fully compliant with
his tax obligations."
The allegations come one day after Spain's
supreme court upheld Lionel Messi's 21-month
suspended sentence for his conviction of tax
fraud last year. |
