    Ronaldo To Appear In Court On Tax Charges

    Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is due to appear in a Spanish court later today, accused of evading millions in tax.

    Prosecutors allege Ronaldo, reported to be the world’s highest paid athlete, has evaded €14.7m ($17.3m; £13.1m) in tax since 2010.

    The Real Madrid star has previously denied the allegation, saying his “conscience is clear”.

    Ronaldo, 32, is the latest in a string of footballers to be pursued by the Spanish tax authorities.

    Argentina’s Lionel Messi, who plays for Barcelona, was handed a 21-month prison sentence after being found guilty of the same charge last year.

    Earlier this month, the court ruled he could pay €252,000 in place of jail time.

    However, Messi was only accused of evading €4.1m in tax, €10.6m less than Ronaldo, who will give evidence in his case at a court in the Madrid suburb of Pozuelo de Alarcon on Monday.

    According to prosecutors, the Real Madrid star allegedly took “advantage of a company structure created in 2010 to hide income generated in Spain from his image rights from tax authorities” which was a “voluntary and conscious breach of his fiscal obligations in Spain”.

    Ronaldo’s management have also denied the allegations.

    But if the case is sent to trial and he is found guilty, the Portuguese forward could face a fine of “at least €28m” and a prison sentence of three-and-a-half years, the Gestha union of experts at Spain’s Inland Revenue says.
