If he tries to sign for Man City it'll show up on his CRB check and they'll end up saying no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Didn't most of this happen when he was like 18? I refuse to believe an 18 year old Messi knew much about tax and it's probably his dad or accountants fault in the main Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 What kind of law is that. A law used to make it sound like someone's being punished when in reality nothing has happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 All great careers end in failure of some kind. It's staggering though that they would go to such lengths to essentially save what amounts to about 4 months salary for him. Football must be the thickest profession.

Village Idiot Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 In Spain you don't go to jail for a first offence if it's under two years, and there wasn't intentional violence involved. That's the law, and it's the same for Messi and for anybody in the street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
