Javier Mascherano handed 12-months prison sentence
Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano has been sentenced to 12- months in prison by Spanish authorities after pleading guilty for tax evasion charges….but won’t serve a day in prison as he was able to struck an agreement with the State Attorney under the terms of which he will pay a fine of €815,000 as well as accepting a one-year jail sentence.
EFE confirmed that the punishment will be suspended unless Mascherano commits the same offence in the next 12 months in a deal that will be confirmed in court on a date still to be determined.
The former Liverpool player was accused of evading payment on image rights received from Nike, and had already paid back the sum of €1.5 million as well as €200,000 in interest demanded by Spanish authorities.
According to the charges, Mascherano had ceded his image rights to a company based in Madeira, Portugal, in order to avoid tax responsibilities between 2011 and 2012.
