Current manager of Brazil national team and former manager of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti has been sentenced to one-year prison term for tax fraud.

A Spanish court sentenced on Wednesday Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti to a one-year prison term for failing to pay tax on his image rights revenues when he was Real Madrid manager in 2014, the Madrid court said in a statement.

Spanish law is such that any sentence under two years for a non-violent crime rarely requires a defendant without previous convictions to serve jail time.

In the same process, the Italian coach has been acquitted of another possible tax offense committed in 2015, also related to the collection of his image rights while he was employed by Real Madrid.

First to comment. I dedicate this space to every nairalander who are going through economy hard times. Brace yourselves up, there is light at the end of the tunnel

Looks like Ancelotti just joined the elite “La Liga Tax Club” — membership perks include a one-year sentence you don’t actually serve and an honorary wink from Lionel Messi, the founding member. 😂

Messi’s probably somewhere shaking his head like, “Bro, you forgot the offshore shell company? Rookie move.”

Note Messi is the GOAT of football

The Spanish tax system is bad. Why can't you deduct tax at point of payment?

He's now a convict and fit to coach the super eagles of Nigeria.

Na criminals dey sweet us pass

How can a post with only na waaaaa as comment enter front page.


Normal normal everybody for spain suppose dey prison, na everyday dem dey default tax

Oga go pay now 😉, Sanwo. This is embarrassing right now.

This is really SAD. WE do not have such functional systems that takes out a big fish. In Nigeria he would go with a pat on the back.

Suspended... They will finally give him a suspended sentence

Meanwhile all the foreign coaches we employed in Nigeria never pay tax and no one ever asks them?

Space bookers every where, instead of reacting properly to the news

19 more what nonsense n

I thought that top actors of the football industry don't pay too much tax!

Am suprised that he is still dodging from tax.

Honestly I don't understand how it works out n spain.
You just wake up and get ready for cort

Hope there is an option of fine? This can never happen in Naija!

Spain and their weird Tax Laws...

Always looking for ways to pin down people...

🤗 At least not for Rape. This can be easily soughted out.

If I be migrant (because most cictizens do have their way) for there, I go declare all my income to the IRS (except some cash payments), let dem help me calculate mytax, so I won't cry in future.

Goodlady:
Will he eat beans or not?
What type of sentencing is this?
Dear men una go get all the money and not fulfil ya responsibilities.

Don't mind them. Most are very irresponsible. This one is not even being jailed for Rape.

your problem is not wether he's guilty of the offence or not but just to let him rest because he was sacked .

These are the same elements shouting Nigeria and bad governments. but will make senseless comments against countries that tracks and punishes law breakers when they're caught .smh .

Wetin? Make dem no collect Owo Ilè again?

Na only for Africa dem dey trouble poor man. These people hardly disturb poor people,. I don see how dem dey even cancel someone's debt because of the situations, but for Africa? Who send ya papa, dem go lock you join sef.....

Let them tax him, he dey earn enough, so he needs to pay for Owo Ilè...

Spanish govt no dey use tax dey play.no wonder the 2 GOATS left

He would appeal the sentence and might likely not go to jail. He would only pay the tax, intrest and penalties accrued on it. case closed!

You collect tax from his salary, collect VAT , collect road tax , collect property tax and still want to collect tax on his image rights ...Govts are nothing but thieves who reap where dey didn't sow a dime

Why is it mostly coaches that coached in Spain?

Uu

What is wrong with Spanish tax system that is always resulting to all these cases?

God abeg oh
When will nigeria be like all ds countries. Sentencing their celebrities to prison anyhow. Even tho if na with fine
