Ronaldo charged with defrauding Spanish authorities of 14.7 million Euros

London: Spain's prosecutor's office in Madrid has filed a tax fraud lawsuit against Real Madrid star striker Cristiano Ronaldo of allegedly defrauding Spanish tax authorities of 14.7million Euros.

 As per mirror.co.uk, the prosecutor's office, in a statement, said Ronaldo had knowingly used a "business



structure" created in 2010 to hide his income in Spain from his image rights.

As per reports, the alleged irregularities were in relation to money the Portuguese star had in the Virgin Islands, although officials acknowledged adjustments to this structure in 2014, where the player paid back an extra 7 million Euros in tax.
