MADRID (AP) Football agent Jorge Mendes has told a Spanish judge that he had no involvement in the financial planning of client Radamel Falcao, who has been accused by a state prosecutor of tax fraud.
Mendes, who is not accused of any wrongdoing, appeared before a judge in a Madrid court for 45 minutes on Tuesday as part of the probe into whether there are grounds for the case against Falcao to go to trial.
Mendes’ agency, Gestifute, released a statement saying that ”neither he nor his employees have ever intervened in the creation of corporate structures for his clients and much less provided any tax advice to them.
