Barcelona's Lionel Messi And His Father Have Received 21-month Jail Sentences. by fibe: 12:45pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
Barcelona's Argentinian football star Lionel
Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in
prison in Spain for tax fraud, but he is not
expected to spend time behind bars.
Messi was also fined €2 million (NZ
$3.1 million) after being found guilty of
three counts of tax fraud, a court in the
Spanish city said on Wednesday.
His father, Jorge, received the same
sentence and was fined €1.5 million.
However, in Spain it is customary that
those sentenced to under two years for
non-violent crimes do not serve time in jail
- making it unlikely the star or his dad will
be imprisoned.
Messi, 29, and his father were accused by
the Spanish tax office of defrauding the
government of €4.2 million in tax between
2007 and 2009. |
