craig 5,199 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 So after Messi losing his appeal for tax fraud and getting a 21 month prison sentence (unlikely ever to be enforced) plus Neymar being accused of tax frad it is now Ronaldo's turn to be accused of a massive tax fraud. He is accused of defrauding the Spanish authorities out of 14.7 million Euros. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11835/10914195/real-madrids-cristiano-ronaldo-facing-tax-lawsuit-from-spanish-prosecutors-office Spain's Prosecutor's Office in Madrid has filed a tax fraud lawsuit against Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo is alleged to have defrauded Spanish authorities of 14.7m euros between 2011 and 2014. In a statement, the prosecutor's office said Ronaldo had knowingly used a "business structure" created in 2010 to hide his income in Spain from his image rights. The lawsuit is based on a report sent to the prosecutor's office from Spain's tax agency AEAT, it said. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,960 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Cristiano Ronaldo makes 'irreversible' decision to leave Real Madrid after treatment by Spanish tax authorities Caceria de bruja.... ....and we all know who would benefit, if this came to pass....... No point in the lad coming to Rangers, as the Barrowfield Barca would have him harassed by the authorities even more severely than their pyor speshull sanctimonious friends on the Med. Cristiano Ronaldo makes 'irreversible' decision to leave Real Madrid after treatment by Spanish tax authorities The Portuguese captain is being accused of defrauding the taxpayer of nearly €15m Ed Malyon @eaamalyon 42 mins ago0 comments The Independent Football http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-transfer-news-wants-to-leave-spanish-tax-fraud-allegations-a7792826.html Ronaldo is furious with the treatment of him by Spanish tax authorities Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid, according to reports in his native Portugal, in a decision that has been described as "irreversible". The 31-year-old former Manchester United winger is reportedly angry at his treatment by Spanish tax authorities and wishes to leave the country, according to the front page of Portuguese daily A Bola on Friday. Ronaldo is the subject of a lawsuit brought by Spanish prosecutors over tax that they believe he should have paid on image rights income. The winger is being accused of defrauding nearly €15m from the taxpayer. Real Madrid issued a statement fully supporting the player, claiming they were "absolutely convinced of his innocence." The Portuguese legend this month won his third Champions League as a Madrid player, and fourth of his career, but is so "indignant" at what he feels amounts to persecution that he is ready to walk away, and has communicated that decision to Florentino Pérez, the Real Madrid president. A Bola recently also claimed that Ronaldo would be the subject of a €180m bid this summer, suggesting this outcome may have been in the pipeline for some time. Paris Saint-Germain have been long-term admirers of the Madeira-born star and held a number of secret meetings with him over a transfer during the 2015/16 season. Club president Nasser El-Khelaifi would jump at another chance to sign Ronaldo, even if there were suggestions he leveraged PSG's interest to boost the multi-million euro contract extension he signed last year. Manchester United, too, would be keen on bringing Ronaldo back to Old Trafford. Ed Woodward remains obsessed by star appeal and signing football's biggest individual brand would tick every box as United look to return to being title challengers. With the collapse of their move for Antoine Griezmann and Andrea Belotti proving too expensive, Ronaldo could be the perfect tonic for United even if it is hard to imagine a scenario where Ronaldo decided to leave Madrid and United hadn't already been informed.
