- Story Text: Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, accused of evading 14.7 million euros ($17.3 million) in taxes, arrived at the Pozuelo de Alarcon court on Monday (July 31) to testify.
The Spanish prosecutor says the 32-year-old Portuguese footballer knowingly used a business structure to hide his image rights income in Spain between 2011 and 2014. Ronaldo has denied the allegations.
Real Madrid's star player arrived in a black Mercedes and entered the court through the underground car park at the back of the building.
If found guilty of hiding earnings Ronaldo would face a large fine and a possible custodial sentence. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
