Lionel Messi tax fraud case, Prosecutors would swap prison for fine
Spain’s state prosecutor would accept substituting a fine of 255,000 euros ($285,116) for the 21 month prison sentence handed down by a Barcelona court to football player Lionel Messi for tax fraud, a Barcelona newspaper reported on Friday 23rd June 2017.
Messi and his father Jorge were found guilty by a Catalan court last July on three counts of tax fraud between 2007 and 2009 to the tune of 4.1 million euros on image rights and were also fined 2 million euros.
Spain’s Supreme Court rejected in May an appeal by the Barcelona football star and stood by a Catalan regional court’s 21 month prison sentence.
The state prosecutor was not immediately available to comment on Friday.
