Thursday, Nov 24, 2016

Samuel Eto'o has been accused of tax fraud and could face up to 10 years and a half in jail, according to reports.
As well as the long prison term, prosecutors are demanding he be fined around £12m.

Report says that he owes almost £3million in tax from 2006 to 2009, while he was at the Nou Camp.
Eto’o is accused of getting around tax through a complicated and illegal image rights structure.
He ran two companies — Bulte 2002 in Spain and Tradesport in Hungary — and this allowed him to transfer his image rights between the two and avoid having to pay tax.
While he also received  around £2m-a-year from Puma.
