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.
