The Real Madrid forward's representatives have denied accusations which claimed he defrauded Spanish authorities out of over €14 million
Cristiano Ronaldo has issued his first response to the tax fraud complaint made against him, saying sometimes the best answer is "to be quiet".
Ronaldo's representatives have strongly denied an accusation that the Real Madrid forward concealed earnings and defrauded the Spanish tax authorities out of €14.7million.
Madrid expressed "full confidence" in the Portugal international in a statement on Wednesday and the 32-year-old has now issued his own response.
In making his comment on Instagram, Ronaldo, who is preparing for the Confederations Cup, posted an image showing himself in a Portugal t-shirt with his finger to his lips, gesturing silence.
