Finnegan Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 "At least Ronaldo pays his taxes." Ahahahahahagagagagagahaha. Being investigated, looks like he's defrauded Spain out of three times as much as the little man. Oh dear Ronny. I suppose he really was desperate to beat Messi at something. /shamelessfishing
Wymsey Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 But like Messi, won't get jail term as he's a footballer and hence 'untouchable'.

Messi defrauded Spain out of 4m Euros. Got a 21 month sentence, that's three months shy of having to do jail time. Ronaldo allegedly defrauded Spain of 15m Euros. Larger sentence...!?

The difference is Ronaldo plays for the Spanish government's favourite team. He won't even get investigated, let alone charged

I just find it hilarious that he enjoyed a brief window of being considered to have some moral high ground by his fanboys because Messi got done. Then it turns out he's done the same thing but worse. Immense.

davieG Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Cristiano Ronaldo is facing possible charges of tax fraud in Spain. Prosecutors have passed a file to the country's tax office, which will decide whether to press charges against the Portuguese Real Madrid striker. Reports in Spain say Ronaldo, 32, is suspected of defrauding 15m euros(£13m) between 2011 and 2014. In December, leaked documents suggested Ronaldo had avoided tax on income from image rights allegedly held in offshore accounts. He denied the claims. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was also implicated in those claims - published after an international consortium of journalists obtained a trove of about 18 million documents. He also denied the claims. On Wednesday, Spain's Supreme Court confirmed a 21-month jail term handed down last year to Lionel Messi - but the Barcelona and Argentina forward is unlikely to go to prison. Messi and his father Jorge, who manages his finances, were both convicted in 2016 of defrauding Spain of 4.1m euros (£3.5m) in taxes.

Messi supporting kids feel an obligation to hate Ronaldo just because he's Messi's closest competitor (if not better) vice versa. Can't people appreciate both footballers?
Bert Posted 25 May 2017 Posted 25 May 2017 Embarrassed for anyone celebrating this really. Notably, it's everyone that prefers Messi/Barca over Ronaldo/Real. They're both twats for trying to think they can defraud because of who they are and full well knowing that they're likely to get away with any kind of custodial sentence.

And then there's folks like me who dislike them and the clubs they play for both - Real for being the choice for favourable treatment from various fascist/authoritarian regimes throughout recent history, and Barca for peddling the whole self-righteous "more than a club" rubbish when they clearly engage in shady business practices involving players as much as anyone else - massive hypocrites. And between them they control the TV money in Spain which means hardly anyone else gets a look in. Choosing which is worse or better is like choosing between King Herod and Harold Shipman regarding care of vulnerable people.

You're a twat if you're not celebrating, tbh, unless you like seeing millionaires get away with tax evasion while the rest of us pay up. Glad to see him get caught, glad Messi was caught, hope Mourinho gets caught, do them all. If Bale is at it, I'll celebrate if he gets caught. Cheating cvnts. The financial state of Spain and these boys are taking the piss, after all the country has done for them. Pricks.
