Ronaldo faces 3.5 years in jail over tax evasion charges

By Kirsten Hastings, 31 Jul 17

Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is facing up to three and a half years in jail after he was accused of having evaded paying €14.7m (£13.1m, $17.3m) in taxes since 2010.

Another footballing forward who fell foul of the tax authorities was Neymar, who was cleared of criminal charges this week in a long-running tax evasion case in Brazil.

Embroiled in the case for four years, Neymar da Silva Santos Junior was charged with evading BRL63m (£15.3m, $19.9m, €17.1m).

He was found guilty and ordered to repay BRL188.8m in fines and back taxes. This sum was later cut in half on appeal.

Separate criminal charges were finally dropped on Wednesday.
