Cristiano Ronaldo Appears In Court In Tax Fraud Case

Cristiano Ronaldo Appears In Court In Tax Fraud Case

According to the BBC, prosecutors accuse Ronaldo, reported to be the world’s highest paid athlete, of evading €14.7m ($17.3m; £13.1m) in tax.

He had been expected to make a statement after the pre-trial hearing, but left without saying a word.

The Real Madrid star, 32, has previously denied the allegations, saying his “conscience is clear”.

The media had gathered on the court steps in front of a lectern and speakers, set up by Real Madrid in anticipation of a speech by the footballer.

But Ronaldo avoided journalists by arriving and leaving via an underground garage.
