Jose Mourinho should face a tax investigation in this country after Spanish prosecutors filed a fraud claim against the Manchester United manager last week, an MP has urged.
Mourinho has denied the allegations of tax evasion but a judge in Madrid will decide if the case should go to court. The offence could carry a prison sentence of two to six years and a fine up to £17.4million.
It is alleged that Mourinho defrauded the Spanish tax authorities of £2.9m during his spell in charge of Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.
Meg Hillier MP, the recent chairwoman of the public accounts select committee, believes the 54-year-old former Chelsea boss should also be investigated in the UK to see if there is evidence of any wrongdoing here.
