Alexis Sanchez Will Not Go To Prison For Tax Fraud



Manchester United’s Alexis Sanchez will not go to prison after admitting to tax fraud in Spain, but his agent has hit out at an “unfair” system making scapegoats of high-profile foreign figures. 

The Chilean was handed a 16-month suspended sentence by Spanish authorities after admitting to wrongdoing during his time on the books at Barcelona

The Chilean forward has been handed a 16-month suspended sentence after entering into a plea bargain with the relevant authorities.

His charges relate to a spell on the books at Barcelona between 2012 and 2013 and the defrauding of €1 million on image rights.

Sanchez is not the first to have faced punishment for said actions, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo enduring similar problems in Spain, and the 29-year-old’s representative has accused the system of being rigged against those to have committed mere “supposed crimes”.
