Real Madrid star, Cristiano
Ronaldo, has denied ever committing any tax fraud in Spain. He stressed that he never hid any
of his earnings from tax authorities.
The Portuguese international
stated this on Tuesday through his representatives, hours after a tax
fraud lawsuit was filed against him in Madrid.
“There is no tax evasion scam.
There has never been any hiding nor any intention to hide anything from tax
authorities,” Gestifute, the agency representing Ronaldo, said in a statement.
Spain’s prosecutor’s office in
Madrid had said earlier that it had filed a lawsuit against the 32-year-old for
allegedly defrauding Spanish authorities of 14.7 million euros between 2011 and
2014.
In a statement, the prosecutor’s
office said Ronaldo had knowingly used a “business structure” created in 2010
to hide his income in Spain from his image rights.
It said the lawsuit was based on
a report sent to the prosecutor’s office from Spain’s tax agency, AEAT.
