Gerard Pique Told to Pay £1.89m in Tax Arrears

By -

   Gerard Pique, defender for Fc Barcelona has been ordered to pay the Spanish authorities £1.89 million in tax arrears and fines for tax evasion.


   The Tribunal Económico-Administrativo Central in Madrid upheld a decision from Spain's country's National Court concerning image rights payments from 2008 to 2010.

   The Ex-Spanish international has the right to appeal to the Supreme Court.

   Pique has not made any comment on the verdict.

   There have been several high-profile cases of tax evasion in Spain in recent years with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho all fined.

   Messi, paid a two million euro (£1.8m) fine in 2016 and received a 21-month jail term, although the prison sentence was later reduced to a further fine of 252,000 euros (£227,000). Former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo had a suspended two-year prison sentence before he agreed to pay 18.8 million euros (£16.9m) in fines and back taxes.

   The outcome on World Cup   winner Pique comes a month after his wife, Colombian  musician Shakira, was questioned  by a  judge near   Barcelona  over alleged  evasion of  14.5 million euros (£13m) in taxes.

The French Ligue 1 champions said they would take "appropriate action" against the forward after he did not appear for club duties on Monday. The news has fuelled rumours Neymar will look to force through a move away from the club in the transfer window, with a return to Barcelona mooted as well as a possible switch to Real Madrid. PSG said in a statement that they had not authorised the player's absence, but Neymar Snr is adamant they had agreed he would not be back until July 15 due to commitments with Instituto Neymar, a charitable organisation set up by the 27-year-old and his family. “The reason [for his absence] is known and was scheduled one year ago, with the annual schedule of his institute, and we couldn't change it,” he first told Fox Sports Brazil . “His return will be on the 15th.
