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”.
