How long will Cristiano Ronaldo be jailed for if found guilty of tax evasion?

Confusion surrounds claims that Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo criminally evaded tax estimated to be in the region of €150 million.

These are allegations that the Spanish government is investigating after news outlet El Mundo suggested Ronaldo could become embroiled in a scandal.

Jose Maria Mollinedo is secretary general of Gestha, which is the biggest workers' union among the employees of the Spanish equivalent to the UK's HM Revenue and Customs, and he says Ronaldo could be facing half a dozen years behind bars.

"We would be advising aggravated tax fraud," Mollinedo told RAC1.
