LFP Chief Javier Tebas Says He Has No Doubt Cristiano Ronaldo Is Innocent

LFP President Javier Tebas has backed Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo in his tax evasion case, saying he believes the icon is innocent of the charges.

Tebas told La Sexta (h/t Goal), "Knowing the environment and the professional that it is, I have no doubt that Cristiano is innocent.

We live in a time when any news related to the Spanish treasury is to point out criminals. From what I have read, I am convinced that there is no crime."

Ronaldo has been accused of evading millions of Euros of taxations, prompting the superstar to reportedly want to leave La Liga.
