Samuel Eto'o, a former Cameroonian footballer, was sentenced to 22 months in prison for tax fraud in Spain. However, he will not serve time due to Spanish laws for sentences under two years. Eto'o, now the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation, must repay $4.2 million and an unspecified fine, with media suggesting $1.89 million. Like Lionel Messi, Eto'o was accused of tax evasion related to image rights between 2006 and 2009, avoiding $4.1 million in taxes. Eto'o joins a list of footballers, including Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Javier Mascherano, and Alexis Sánchez, who have faced similar issues with Spanish tax authorities.
