a écrit le 24 novembre 2016 à 11h52 The prosecutor is asking for sentences totaling 10 years and 6 months in prison for the former player of FC Barcelona Samuel Eto`o and his representative, José MarÃa Mesalles for four crimes against the Treasury in the financial years 2006 to 2009, and the payment of compensation and fines in excess of 18 million.
in its indictment, addressed to the Court of Instruction No. 2 of Barcelona, the prosecutor requested the opening of the trial against Samuel Eto`o, his agent Jose Maria Mesalles and director of the company Hungarian Tradesport and Marketing, KFT, Manuel de Jesus Lastre, which would have facilitated the commission of the fraud, which amount to 3,872,621 euros in four years.
As explained by the prosecutor, the Cameroonian player obtained in the financial years 2006 to 2009 significant revenues derived from the transfer of their image rights to the sports brand Puma and FC Barcelona, which should have been taxed as investment income in their income tax returns, but that the player did not declare.
Eto`o pretended that such rights had been assigned two companies resident in Hungary and Spain, so that the income diverted to the Hungarian company did not pay tax to the Treasury, while diverted to the Spanish society did to a rate lower than the corresponding income tax, says the tax.
