Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is set to appear in court in Spain on 14th January as the tax evasion case against him from his time at Real Madrid reaches its final conclusion.
In 2017 Spanish prosecutors accused Ronaldo of defrauding the Spanish treasury out of close to €15m in tax between 2011 and 2014. In June of this year it was subsequently reported that the player and his legal team had reached an agreement over a fine and two-year prison sentence, to be served under probation as is the norm for such cases in Spain.
Procedure dictates that Ronaldo must still formally appear in court and AS reports that the hearing in January will see the 33-year-old officially found guilty.
