Sports › Messi Likely To Go To Jail, He Lost Appeal Against 21-month Prison Sentence - by tuscani(op): 4:16pm On May 26, 2017 |
source http://www.the42.ie/lionel-messi-prison-sentence-appeal-3406458-May2017/?ref=yfpBARCELONA STAR LIONEL Messi has lost his appeal to the Spanish Supreme Court against a suspended 21-month prison sentence for tax fraud. Messi was given the jail term last July after being found guilty – alongside his father Jorge – on three counts of tax fraud. It was ruled he had defrauded Spain of €4.1 million between 2007 and 2009, relating to earnings from image rights. Court documents on Wednesday show the 29-year-old has lost his appeal to the Supreme Court, with the sentence issued by a Catalan court being confirmed. The Argentina international is not likely to face time in jail because, according to Spanish law, sentences for non-violent offences under two years in duration can be served under probation and the forward has no previous criminal convictions. Messi’s father Jorge, also found guilty in the original proceedings, saw his sentence reduced from 21 months to 15 due to his co-operation in the case. Jorge made a voluntary corrective €5m payment in August 2013 on behalf of the Messis, a figure that was equal to the amount of tax allegedly unpaid, plus interest. The original Barcelona court which handed down the initial verdict will now see the case return to it. During the trial in 2016, Messi consistently denied any involvement, insisting his focus was only ever on playing football. |

MetaPhysical: Don't attack him. He does not have to listen or play to anyone's script. He is doing exactly what a leader in his position must do, and that is speak to the spirit of civic responsibility and loyaty to the sovereingty. He swore to an oath to keep Nigeria one. He has to speak to that and act to it. So he is correct with his assertions. Opponents must raise counter claims and overwhelm his position on the collective destiny.
This is politics, not war! You must use tact and wisdom to win your position against the mighty administration. Force and attacks will get you no where. if this is the case, then the midget turned acting president is such a fool |

DeRay98: Your ignorance stinks. He put up a valid argument for his position and you ran to post stupidity. Will Ozekhome eat him? He and Ozekhome who has more credibility? Falana has been consistent in his human right and constitutional activism since i first heard of over 20yrs ago in my university days. Ozekhome ran away from same activism to start defending polithiefians to get his own share of their loot.
