Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and his father Jorge have been
sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud, but won't spent any
time behind bars.
The Messis were found to have evaded tax on Lionel's image rights,
owing more than €4m in back payments, and the Court of Catalonia has
sentenced the pair to just under two years in prison.
However, as the sentence is short of two years, and neither Lionel nor
Jorge have a criminal record, they won't be required to serve any jail
time.
Leo Messi had argued that he wasn't aware of the tax arrangements set
in place by his father and other advisors, but the state attorney,
Mario Maza, compared the player to a mafia boss, who has deniability
on the illegal goings-on in his name, El Periodico notes.
