Alexis Sánchez’s agent has confirmed the Manchester United striker has accepted a prison sentence for tax fraud, but has described the agreement as “entirely unjust” and attacked the Spanish authorities for effectively forcing him and other players into signing the deal. He says other players have been obliged to do much the same.
Fernando Felicevich has accused the state of changing its interpretation of the law
http://www.officialbravestore.com/Deion_Sanders_Jersey and pursuing professional footballers, particularly foreigners, exercising pressure through “obscene” leaks to the media and the threat of long legal processes and prison sentences.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are just two of “infinite” numbers of players who have been charged, and Felicevich has insisted there will be more.
Reports appeared on Wednesday morning revealed Sánchez had agreed a deal with the state attorney, accepting the charges against him for allegedly defrauding the Spanish treasury of €1m while he was at Barcelona in 2012-13.
The state said he had used a company based in Malta to receive image rights paid by the Catalan club and Sánchez accepted the charges, agreeing to a 16-month prison sentence. He will repay the amount in full, plus interest. Because the sentence is less than two years, he will not serve any time in

But far from admitting the agreement is a demonstration of Sánchez’s guilt, his agent said publicly what some tax specialists and lawyers have said privately, attacking the state and inland revenue for pursuing players with “unfair” charges

Those are charges, he alleges, which are founded upon a reinterpretation of the law and are forced through via underhand means.
“Once again, there has been a leak from the Spanish

Felicevich accused the state and the tax office of

Lionel Messi was handed an initial 21-month sentence for fraud, while a number of other figures, including Javier Mascherano and José Mourinho, reached agreement with inland revenue and the state prosecutors’ office. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to fight charges against him, protesting his innocence, and his case is ongoing.
“Prosecutors and the tax office have put more than 30 players in the same situation, accusing them of the same crimes and threatening them with effective prison sentences,” Felicevich said. “Almost the entire squad at Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been put in this situation, as the clubs have used a means of paying tax that was accepted by the tax office in the past.
