Cristiano Ronaldo, a star player for Real Madrid, was charged by Spanish authorities with alleged tax fraud involving millions. The prosecution claims he used a network of companies in Ireland and the British Virgin Islands to hide income from image rights in Spain between 2011 and 2014. Ronaldo, who has won the Ballon d'Or four times, denied the accusations in court near Madrid. His defense stated that the structure was in place since 2004, during his time at Manchester United, and was deemed legal by UK tax authorities. If convicted, Ronaldo could face a fine of at least 28 million euros. This case is part of a broader crackdown by Spanish authorities on tax irregularities in football, with Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano having been convicted in 2016.
