According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid boss Carlo
Ancelotti (name)
on suspicion of
tax evasion
, for which the Spanish prosecutor's office has requested a five-year prison sentence. The charge stems from Ancelotti's tax problems during his first stint at Real Madrid, between 2013 and 2015.
In March, Madrid prosecutors filed a complaint against Carlo Ancelotti, accusing the Italian coach of tax evasion totaling 1,062,079 euros between 2013 and 2015, including 386,361 euros in 2014 and 675,718 euros in 2015. Prosecutors argued that Ancelotti had lied in declaring his personal income, declaring only the salary income he received at Real Madrid and not reporting other income details such as personal portrait rights.
According to the prosecutor's allegations, Ancelotti concealed his personal income while residing in Spain and must therefore appear in court for trial. The prosecutor's office asked the court to sentence Ancelotti to five years' imprisonment as a disciplinary and cautionary measure.
The news has attracted a lot of attention and discussion, with many focusing on the progress of the case and the implications for Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid. A highly respected coach, Ancelotti has achieved many great things in his career, but this allegation has certainly challenged his image and career.
Ancelotti and his legal team have yet to publicly respond to the allegations, and the trial and final verdict of the case will be the focus of attention in the coming months. Real Madrid and its fans will also be closely following the developments and hope that the matter can be resolved justly as soon as possible.
